Told in a number of vignettes, alternating between Nablus, Washington D. C. and other locations, Arafat’s unnamed protagonist’s acceptance into a writing programme in mid-America spurs her to leave New York City, conveniently coinciding with the dissolution of her relationship.  Before restarting her education, she enters a wellness retreat in Kentucky, to consider her betrayal of previous partners and her volatile relationship with her mother, to whom she recently came out.
