The Astonishing Color of After
by Emily X.R. Pan
"After her mother dies, Leigh knows one impossible thing: her mother is now a bird."
When Leigh's mother dies by suicide, a red bird appears — unmistakably her — and leads Leigh to Taipei and the grandparents she's never met. Grief, first love, family secrets and art blur together in luminous magical realism about learning a mother's whole story too late.
