Hager  Today The New York Times bestselling author of the mesmerizing and evocative (Sara Gruen
author of Water for Elephants) Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet returns with a powerful
exploration of the love that binds one family across the generations. Dorothy Moy breaks her
own heart for a living. As Washington's former poet laureate  that's how she describes
channeling her dissociative episodes and mental health struggles into her art. But when her
five-year-old daughter exhibits similar behavior and begins remembering things from the lives
of their ancestors  Dorothy believes the past has truly come to haunt her. Fearing that her
child is predestined to endure the same debilitating depression that has marked her own life 
Dorothy seeks radical help. Through an experimental treatment designed to mitigate inherited
trauma  Dorothy intimately connects with past generations of women in her family: Faye Moy  a
nurse in China serving with the Flying Tigers  Zoe Moy  a student in England at a famous school
with no rules  Lai King Moy  a girl quarantined in San Francisco during a plague epidemic 
Greta Moy  a tech executive with a unique dating app  and Afong Moy  the first Chinese woman to
set foot in America. As painful recollections affect her present life  Dorothy discovers that
trauma isn't the only thing she's inherited. A stranger is searching for her in each time
period. A stranger who's loved her through all of her genetic memories. Dorothy endeavors to
break the cycle of pain and abandonment  to finally find peace for her daughter  and gain the
love that has long been waiting  knowing she may pay the ultimate price.
