Settling Twice

In a revelation of clarity, grace, memory, and unflinching insight, author Deborah Joy Corey examines the bonds of family, lovers, neighbors, and place that forge one’s sense of identity. With astonishing skill and delicacy, she weaves a transcendent story of love and loss, of spirit and spirituality, of loyalty and regret, and shows us how—despite a world fraught with despair and disillusion—wonder still prevails.
