Description
It’s 1989, and Iris Cavendish has spent years building a new life far from the family she had to leave behind. Now a successful flight attendant with her own apartment and the possibility of a new love, Iris decides it is time to reconnect with her younger brother, Luke.
Without cell phones, GPS, or the internet to make the search easy, Iris tracks Luke to college in New Mexico and travels there to find him. Their reunion brings both relief and complications as Iris helps Luke navigate a threatening situation and begins to unravel the misunderstandings surrounding their family.
But childhood memories are rarely as straightforward as they seem. As Iris and Luke confront the past, questions remain about what happened, what was remembered incorrectly, and what was deliberately left behind.
A thoughtful story about the families we are born into and the families we choose, Little Cavendish explores abandonment and reunion, coming out, trauma and dissociation, and the complicated bonds between siblings.
