A magic-tinged contemporary YA about grief and hope from the acclaimed New York Times
bestselling author of the Graceling Realm novels. Wilhelmina Hart is part of the infamous
class of 2020. Her high school years began with a shocking presidential election and ended with
a pandemic. In the midst of this global turmoil she also lost one of her beloved aunts a loss
she still feels keenly. Having deferred college Wilhelmina now lives in a limbo she can see no
way out of like so many of her peers. Wilhelmina’s personal darkness would be unbearable
(especially with another monumental election looming) but for the inexplicable and seemingly
magical clues that have begun to intrude on her life—flashes of bizarre ecstatic whimsy that
seem to add up to a message she can’t quite grasp. But something tells her she should follow
their lead. Maybe a trail of elephants birds angels and stale doughnuts will lead Wilhelmina
to a door?
