Over the decades, their lives are shaped by addiction, success, and heartbreak—but at the center is Jude, a brilliant yet enigmatic man carrying the scars of an unspeakable past.

A searing portrait of love, loyalty, and the families we choose, this novel is a testament to resilience—and a haunting exploration of how far we go for the people we hold dear.
