Gifty is a fifth year candidate in neuroscience at Stanford School of Medicine studying reward seeking behavior in mice and the neural circuits of depression and addiction. Her brother, Nana, was a gifted high school athlete who died of a heroin overdose after a knee injury left him hooked on OxyContin. Her suicidal mother is living in her bed. Gifty is determined to discover the scientific basis for the suffering she sees all around her. But even as she turns to the hard sciences to unlock the mystery of her family's loss, she finds herself hungering for her childhood faith, and grappling with the evangelical church in which she was raised, whose promise of salvation remains as tantalizing as it is elusive. Transcendent Kingdom is a deeply moving portrait of a family of Ghanain immigrants ravaged by depression and addiction and grief-- a novel about faith, science, religion, love. Exquisitely written, emotionally searing, this is an exceptionally powerful follow-up to Gyasi's phenomenal debut. 650 0 Ghanaian Americans|vFiction. 650 0 Immigrant families|vFiction. 650 0 Doctoral students|vFiction. 650 0 Grief|vFiction. 650 0 Depressed persons|vFiction. 650 7 Depressed persons|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00890902 650 7 Doctoral students|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01743695 650 7 Ghanaian Americans|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00942312 650 7 Grief|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00947883 650 7 Immigrant families|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01746411 655 0 Large type books. 655 7 Domestic fiction|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 Fiction|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Novels|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 Domestic fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Novels.|2lcgft 938 Brodart|bBROD|n125987137 994 C0|bORL
