Their abuelitas told stories of their antepasados, and their abuelo, a blacksmith, taught their papâa how to make art from earth and fire.

Follow Nora through a decade of deceit, heartache, and profound devotion as she discovers that ninety pounds can sink a man in more ways than one. Will it be her undoing or her salvation? Had you asked me before I married Rathe-before she left us-what my world was like, I would have said that God shaped the moon in the likeness of Shailene's full cheeks. I would have been careless not to mention the delicate touch of her fingers on the material she so often sewed with Momma in the glorious light of the front window. How her giggle extracted a shadow of a smile from our daddy whenever I whispered something terrible under my breath.Shailene and I spent our nights counting stars, wishing on the ones we believed were most overlooked. When the world flipped inside out, it stole Shailene and all of those stars, leaving me in a frightful darkness.
