Against Gravity — Farnoosh Moshiri

In mid-1980s Houston, the lives of three very different people--Madison Kirby, a dying intellectual; social worker Ric Cardinal, tormented by the son he cannot save; and Roya, an Iranian immigrant struggling to build a new life for herself and her daughter--collide, in a novel of shared loss, struggle, and the possibility of love.
