Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

His father died. Then Micah discovered the sister his family had hidden from him for twenty years.Forty-one days after burying his father, Micah Reyes finds something buried inside an old tax box.A birth certificate.Photographs.An unsent letter.And proof that his mother, Mira, had another child before him.Her name is Cassidy.Micah drives nearly two thousand miles from New Mexico to Jackson, Michigan, determined to find out why everyone he trusted kept the truth from him.He arrives at The Bhakti House soaked from the rain, angry, grieving, and just in time to interrupt a reunion already falling apart.Cassidy takes one look at him and understands immediately.Micah has her eyes.Her mother's eyes.And he is the child their mother stayed for.What follows is not the simple family reconciliation either of them wants.Cassidy must confront the brother who received the birthdays, school plays, sick days, and ordinary childhood she lost when their mother abandoned her.Micah must face a different kind of guilt: the unbearable feeling that every good memory of his childhood somehow belongs to someone else.And both of them must reckon with Gabriel-the father Micah adored-who knew Cassidy existed, kept photographs of her for years, wrote a letter he never sent, and died before Micah could ask him why.Micah expects The Bhakti House to provide answers.Instead, someone gives him a towel.Then a place to sleep.A broken sink to help repair.A mridanga to play.Japa beads he isn't sure he believes in.Kirtan containing the same sixteen words his mother used to sing when she thought no one was listening.And Avery, a young photographer who understands something Micah is only beginning to learn: Loving someone does not give you the right to control whether they stay.As grief, family secrets, unexpected love, counseling, music, and bhakti begin occupying the same life, Micah confronts the question underneath everything: If love is real, why does it always seem like there isn't enough of it to go around?His mother loved him and failed Cassidy.His father loved him and still kept a devastating secret.Avery can love Micah and still have dreams that might take her away.And Micah must discover whether another person's suffering requires him to feel guilty for having been loved.The Boy Who Had Her Eyes is a moving spiritual novel about siblings who never knew each other, the complicated people our parents really are, grief after the death of a father, unexpected romance, sacred sound, and the possibility that love was never meant to be measured by deciding who received more.Because someone else being loved does not mean you were loved less.
