Summary

Literally borne of fire, Hannah enters this world prematurely and stoned out of her mind. Twelve families later she emerges from foster care into the campus of adulthood, struggling with the reality of her sexual orientation against idealized Sunday school memories. When she crosses paths with her first foster dad at a veterinary convention, a road to redemption begins to clear as Hannah struggles to right the wrongs that define her life. Enormous stakes overshadow her quest and every outcome has consequences, both personally and for the world. Lyrical prose against a harsh reality bring life and meaning to this deeply satisfying story.
