Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi
Gifty, a Ghanaian-American neuroscience PhD candidate, studies reward-seeking behavior in mice; the same behavior that led her brother to die of a drug overdose and her mother to succumb to suicidal depression. As she navigates science, faith, and family, she asks the impossible question: can the brain be healed of grief? A stunning second novel from the author of Homegoing.

Transcendent Kingdom is a deeply moving portrait of a family of Ghanaian immigrants ravaged by addiction and grief, and a young woman's determination to save them through science.
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. But her research is personal. Her brother, Nana, died of a heroin overdose after a basketball injury left him addicted to opioids. Her mother, Gifty's only family, is bedridden with suicidal depression after decades of silence and suffering.
As Gifty works in her lab, she wrestles with the impossible tensions of her life: science versus faith, reason versus ritual, her Ghanaian family's silent endurance versus her desire to speak every truth aloud. She excavates the past; growing up in Alabama, her mother's quiet resilience, her father's abandonment and confronts the fundamental question: what do we owe the ones we love?
