"Louisiana, 2042, . Spurred by the effects of climate change, states have closed graveyards and banned burials. In the small town of St. Genevieve, Alma decides to fight to reclaim her mother's ashes, a journey of unburial that will bring into her life a mysterious and loyal stranger, and a group of rebellious women who teach Alma anew the meaning of family and strength. With poeticism and insight, Oliva Clare Friedman gives us a stunning portrait of motherhood, friedship, and humanity in an alternate South torn asunder by global warming."--
