An Apple Books Best Book of March** An Apple Books Favorite Debut for March**
A girl takes on a series of identities to survive, shrouding herself in layers of secrets, until years later when she is forced to reckon with her past.
On an ordinary day in an upscale Atlanta suburb, Maya is making breakfast for her two sons, when her husband drops a red-and-blue striped envelope on the counter and asks a devastating question: Who is Sunny?
Maya is sent reeling back to her childhood in Guyana a time when Sunny was her only name. Unbeknownst to her husband, Maya is not who she claims to be. The letter, from her long-lost sister Roshi, now threatens to expose her true identity and shatter the seemingly perfect existence Maya worked so hard to build.
As she frantically weighs the impact of the truth on her future, Maya relives the details of her childhood journey to America from Guyana and the traumatic events that forced her to leave her past behind. Through the eyes of Maya's innocent and scared younger self, we discover the power of hope, empathy, and the possibility of beginning again.
