  Summary

  Carlos keeps coming back to the surface.

  To T.K.’s voice. To his mother’s hands. To the memory of his father. To a body that survived before his mind could understand what happened.

  After a stray bullet leaves him hospitalized and shaken, Carlos has to face the parts of himself that love alone cannot reach.
