Keeper is a powerful, intriguing story about a connection between two women-the memory of which carries such weight in each of their pasts that the only means of self-preservation has been to try to shut it down. We witness an evening in the lives of Avalon and Constance-the former in her early 20s, the latter 16 years older-who have been bonded and blistered by death, doubt and distance. As the details of their shared history emerge, long-buried feelings and hidden truths rise to the surface. Stirring, humorous and resonant, Keeper is one part cat-and-mouse, and one part long lost love. | Keeper by Tanisha Taitt, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
