In Tokyo, 16-year-old Nao has decided there’s only one escape from her unhappy life. But before she ends it all, Nao plans to document the life of her great-grandmother, a Buddhist nun. Across the Pacific, Ruth, a novelist, discovers a collection of artifacts washed ashore in a lunchbox — possible debris from the 2011 tsunami. As the mystery unfolds, Ruth is pulled into the past, into Nao’s drama, and forward into her own future.
