- Synopsis
- Sparks fly when Orion and Ray meet for the first time at a roller rink in Memphis. But these star-crossed souls have a past filled with secrets that threaten to tear them apart before their love story even begins. Found poetry, grief, and fate collide in this powerful debut.Ray: Just once I&’d like my birthday to be about me, and not the day my father died. I want to be Ray Jr., the tall girl from Memphis with the poetry beats and the braids that stay poppin&’. And when I meet Orion at the skating rink, that&’s exactly who I am. He pulls my hand, and instead of being defined by my past, he races me toward my future. Orion: When I dive into the pool, it&’s just me and my heartbeat. There&’s no dad, no dead sister, and no distracting noises. But I can&’t hold my breath forever. And since I met Ray, I don&’t want to. The closer we get, though, the more I see I&’m not the only one caught in her wake. With a lyrical blend of found poetry and poignant prose, this stunning debut captures young Black love and a decades-old family secret that may shatter a romance that feels written in the stars.
