Publisher's Synopsis
Triggered by the recent death of her younger brother, Malo, and fueled by years of her mother's silence, Zarai Souchet visits her father's grave for the first time in twenty-seven years. When she arrives at the cemetery, she finds an unmarked grave which prompts Zarai to uncover the intangible void that seemingly nothing can fill - the absence of the first man in her life. As she navigates the stages of grief, her husband, Ismael, struggles to be supportive, pushing Zarai further away. Over the ensuing months, Zarai drifts in and out of the past and present and attempts to tie the connection between her father's abandonment and death, its effect on her troubled brother, and on her estranged relationships with her mother and husband. In the Picture I Have of You is a passionate and redeeming story of a woman confronting past demons, breaking generational curses, and accepting that which she cannot change.
