Welcome to Litsy!

Sing Them Home is a moving portrait of three siblings who have lived in the shadow of unresolved grief since their motherÕs disappearance when they were children. Everyone in Emlyn Springs knows the story of Hope Jones, the physicianÕs wife whose big dreams for their tiny town were lost along with her in the tornado of 1978. For HopeÕs three young children, the stability of life with their preoccupied father, and with Viney, their motherÕs spitfire best friend, is no match for HopeÕs absence. Larken, the eldest, is now an art history professor who seeks in food an answer to a less tangible hunger; Gaelan, the son, is a telegenic weatherman who devotes his life to predicting the unpredictable; and the youngest, Bonnie, is a self-proclaimed archivist who combs roadsides for clues to her motherÕs legacy, and permission to move on. When theyÕre summoned home after their fatherÕs death, each sibling is forced to revisit the childhood tragedy that has defined their lives. With breathtaking lyricism, wisdom, and humor, Kallos explores the consequences of protecting those we love. Sing Them Home is a magnificent tapestry of lives connected and undone by tragedy, lives poisedÑunbeknownst to the charactersÑfor redemption.
