Sing Them Home is a moving family portrait of three siblings who have resided in the shadow of unresolved grief since their mother’s disappearance when they were children. Everyone in Emlyn Springs understands the story of Wish Jones, the physician’s partner whose big dreams for their little town were lost along with her in the tornado of 1978. For Wish’s three young children, the balance of life with the preoccupied father, and with Viney, their mother’s spitfire closest friend, is not a match for Wish’s absence. Larken, the eldest, is now an art background professor who looks for in food an answer to a less tangible being hungry; Gaelan, the son, is a telegenic weatherman who devotes his life to predicting the unstable; and the youngest, Bonnie, is a self-proclaimed archivist who combs roadsides for signs to her mother’s legacy, and agreement to go on. When they’re summoned home after their father’s death, each sibling is obligated to revisit the youth tragedy that has identified their lives. With breathtaking lyricism, knowledge, and laughter, Kallos explores the consequences of guarding those we love. Sing Them Home is an impressive tapestry of lives connected and undone by tragedy, lives poised—unbeknownst to the characters—for redemption.
