Mary's recent memories are slipping, and she moves into her daughter Kayla's home as family roles shift. Kayla juggles caregiving, a fractious teenager, and the small comforts of a loyal dog while tensions around a cat and past secrets surface.

At the centre is Mary's unfinished memoir — a reluctant recollection of a cross-cultural love that began in the 1960s and crossed Trinidad, England and Canada. As memory fades, the race to capture the past becomes urgent, revealing hidden choices and the long shadow of decades-old relationships.

Warm, candid and quietly humorous, the novel examines memory, race and intergenerational duty through intimate domestic scenes and international backdrops.
