✦ Synopsis

A black veteran of Afghanistan searches for his missing brother in "a rich and passionate" debut novel exploring issues of race, war, and family (Kirkus Reviews , starred review).

When Achilles Conroy and his brother Troy return from a tour of duty in Afghanistan, their white mother presents them with the key to their past: envelopes containing details about their respective birth parents. After Troy disappears, Achilles -- always his brother's keeper -- embarks on a harrowing journey in search of Troy, an experience that will change him forever.

Heartbreaking, intimate, and at times disturbing, Hold It 'Til It Hurts is a modern-day odyssey through war, adventure, disaster, and love, and explores how people who do not define themselves by race make sense of a world that does.
