 </p>\n<p>One late summer evening in the post-industrial town of East Gladn
 ess\, Connecticut\, nineteen-year-old Hai stands on the edge of a bridge i
 n pelting rain\, ready to jump\, when he hears someone shout across the ri
 ver. The voice belongs to Grazina\, an elderly widow succumbing to dementi
 a\, who convinces him to take another path. Bereft and out of options\, he
  quickly becomes her caretaker. Over the course of the year\, the unlikely
  pair develops a life-altering bond\, one built on empathy\, spiritual rec
 koning\, and heartbreak\, with the power to alter Hai's relationship to hi
 mself\, his family\, and a community at the brink.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Borrow
