Sixteen-year-old Rae's life is a disaster. Her mom is a recovering alcoholic, her best friend is a real-life Hollywood mean-girl, and her dad recently ditched her for his thirtysomething girlfriend. Is it any surprise she's perpetually one crisis away from an anxiety attack? Everything changes when Rae's grandma reveals a shocking family secret and sends Rae to Taos, New Mexico, to find an extraordinary family heirloom.

Sometimes, a thread pulled through the flesh is all that holds you together. Sometimes, the blade of a knife or the point of a nail is the only way you know you're real. When pain becomes art and a quarter is buried deep within you, all you want is to be seen, to have value, to be loved. But love can be fragile, folded into an origami elephant while you disappear, carried on the musical notes that build a bridge, or woven into an illusion so real, so perfect that you can fool yourself for a little while.

Guyanese intellectual Walter Rodney emerged as one of the leading thinkers and activists of the anticolonial revolution. In 1980, shortly after founding of the Working People's Alliance in Guyana, the 38-year-old Rodney would be assassinated. In his magnum opus, Rodney incisively argues that grasping "the great divergence" between the West and the rest can only be explained as the exploitation of the latter by the former. This meticulously researched analysis of the repercussions of European colonialism in Africa remains an indispensable study for grasping global inequality today.
