About this product

Product Information

A dual Kirkus Best Fiction and Best Debut Fiction selection, this stunning vel is an emotional fable about love, forgiveness, and what most makes us human. At the outset of this extraordinary first vel, eight-year-old Jess finds herself in heaven reviewing her short life. She is guided in this by a being she calls the Assembler of Parts, and her task seems to be to grasp her life's meaning. From the moment of her birth, it was obvious that Jess is unlike other children, for she suffers from a syndrome of birth defects that leaves her flawed. But by her very imperfections, she has a unique ability to draw love from--and heal--those around her, from the parents who come together over her to the grandmother whose guilt she assuages, to the family friend she helps reconcile with an angry past. Yet, it is only when she comes to her sudden death--for which her parents are suspected of neglect, unleashing a chain of events beyond her healing--that her sense of her life truly begin to crystallize. And only then does the Assembler's purpose become clear. With prose that is rich in emotion and eloquence and that distills poetry from the language of medicine and the words for ordinary things, Raoul Wientzen has delivered a vel of rare beauty that speaks to subjects as profound as faith, what makes us human, and the value of a life. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction--vels, vellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more. While t every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might t otherwise find a home.
