Kindred, a racially ambiguous domme, is traveling to her next session at the Dungeon, when she receives a call from Carl, her African American step-father, the only father she knows. Requesting money to support a questionable charity, they argue due to Carl's homelessness and lack of desire to find a home. Quickly after, he goes missing which sends Kindred on a quest for him as well as truths about herself and her past.
Carlisle's novel brings us confidently into Kindred's life, beautifully illuminating her relationships with family, sex work, issues of class, and love. A debut of deep compassion and clear-eyed vision.-- Aimee Bender
