โฆ Synopsis
In this complex and emotionally resonant novel, debut author Jen Ferguson serves up a powerful story about rage, secrets, and all the spectrums that make up a personโand the sweetness that can still live alongside the bitterest truth.
Lou has enough confusion in front of her this summer. Sheโll be working in her familyโs ice cream shack with her newly ex-boyfriendโwhose kisses never made her feel desire, only discomfortโand her former best friend, King, who is back in their Canadian prairie town after disappearing three years ago without a word.
But when she gets a letter from her biological fatherโa man she hoped would stay behind bars for the rest of his lifeโLou immediately knows that she cannot meet him, no matter how much he insists.
While Kingโs friendship makes Lou feel safer and warmer than she would have thought possible, when her familyโs business comes under threat, she soon realizes that she canโt ignore her father forever.
