520    Yaa Gyasi's stunning follow-up to her acclaimed national 
       best seller Homegoing is a powerful, raw, intimate, deeply
       layered novel about a Ghanaian family in Alabama. 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.
