When five-year-old Sharla is left in her care, seventy-year-old Addy Shadd forms an unexpected bond with the child. Their growing friendship draws Addy back through a life shaped by love, loss and her childhood in Rusholme, a Canadian community founded by people who escaped slavery. Lori Lansens weaves the two lives into a novel about belonging, memory and the families people make for themselves.
