Some gifts aren't meant to be hidden.
Vanessa Cole has spent thirteen years building a careful life above a wall her memory cannot cross. She teaches. She keeps her head down. She has learned to live with the blank space where her past should be.
Then a genetic test she never ordered arrives and three remarkable young people walk into the school where she works.
Isaiah remembers everything and forgets nothing. Nya solves the patterns no one else can. Izzie sees the truth hidden in plain sight.
They don't know it yet, but they are connected to Vanessa by far more than coincidence. They are mirrors of each other, and of a past someone worked very hard to erase. As buried truths begin to surface, Vanessa must decide what she is willing to risk to protect these children, and to reclaim the part of herself she never got to become.
Told in four unforgettable voices, The Mirror Kids is a literary suspense novel about memory, inheritance, and the families we are pulled back toward against all odds. A haunting, deeply felt debut about being seen, being held, and discovering you were never too much.
