A new beginning tested by the past

Amani has begun building a life in a new city with her mother and grandfather, making friends and entering her first relationship. Her father’s return, framed by an invitation to his wedding, unsettles that new stability and raises questions about change, trust, and the patterns relationships can inherit. The family’s experience of abuse and the mother’s depression are part of the story’s coming-of-age focus, alongside Amani’s struggle with self-image and unresolved hurt. The central tension is whether she can recognize the dynamics around her and make choices that do not repeat them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in coming-of-age stories about family and self-image.
  • Readers seeking fiction that addresses abuse and its effects on relationships.
  • Readers interested in stories about recognizing and confronting harmful relationship patterns.

Book overview

A thoughtful coming-of-age story about a girl navigating family, relationships, and self-image.

After leaving Amani's abusive father, Amani and her mother have adjusted to life in a new city. They live with Amani's loving grandfather, and Amani has made new friends and is dating for the first time. But when her father reinserts himself into her life, asking her to be a bridesmaid in his upcoming wedding, Amani's equilibrium is shattered. Has her father really changed, as he claims? How will this affect her mom, who's struggling with depression? And is Amani's own romantic relationship starting to echo the problems she saw with her parents?

To avoid repeating those patterns, Amani will have to confront her unhealed wounds.
