With tender humor and brilliant insight, National Book Award-winner Ellen Gilchrist returns to the Hand family, delving into the complexities of simmering emotions and enduring drama. As tornadoes ravage America's heartland and the Soviet Union collapses on screen, Olivia de Havilland Hand completes her first year of college and returns to Tahlequah, Oklahoma, to uncover her identity and Cherokee heritage. Amidst a landscape rich with memories, Olivia finds herself entangled in the lives of her family: her strong-willed yet fragile sister Jessie grapples with motherhood in New Orleans; her anthropology professor navigates a tumultuous affair; her aunt discovers romance with a poet in Boston; her father fears losing his daughters; and Olivia rekindles a romance with her old boyfriend, Bobby Tree. This intricate web of relationships spans the country, intertwining past and present as each character seeks peace and love. The narrative unfolds as a masterful work of storytelling, blending elements of contemporary romantic comedy with a poignant meditation on love, revealing the challenges of misunderstood connections, overprotective parents, and the quest for understanding amidst life's chaos.
