"A richly-told debut novel of one woman's journey to her grandmother's home in Greece, where the past and present collide and a fateful decision must be made"--

The daughter of Greek immigrants, Daphne aspires to the American Dream, yet feels as if she's been sleepwalking through life since her husband's death. Only her beloved grandmother on Erikousa, an island off the coast of Greece, knows her heart. Daphne's fondest memories are of times spent in the kitchen with Yia-yia, cooking and learning about the ancient myths. Now Yia-yia is calling Daphne back to Erikousa: she has secrets about the past to share with her granddaughter, and one last lesson to teach her: that security is not love, and that her life can be filled with meaning again.
