Notes

World-renowned photographer Jonathan Aster has been harbouring a never-before-seen photograph of a woman falling from a train bridge, clutching what appears to be a baby to her chest. And he recruits a little-known novelist named Julia White to research the story. Julia has been struggling: broke and drowning in her late mother's medical bills, her first book has barely sold any copies and now she's reeling after a one-night stand with her ex-boyfriend, who's completely ghosted her. So why would he ask her? Alternating between present-day Brooklyn and Kentucky as it enters the 1960s, the story unfolds as Julia races to find answers.
