Happiness Falls

by Angie Kim

Sarah's take

I recommend *Happiness Falls* because Angie Kim masterfully intertwines the complexity of family dynamics with a gripping exploration of identity and justice, all while delving into the profound nuances of communication and understanding. This book is perfect for readers who appreciate deeply emotional narratives that challenge perceptions, especially those who are drawn to stories featuring strong, multifaceted characters navigating the labyrinth of love and loss.

About the book

When a father disappears during a routine walk, leaving behind only his nonspeaking autistic son as witness, a family must navigate impossible questions about communication, assumptions, and truth. As they desperately search for answers, they're forced to confront their own biases about disability and discover unexpected depths in someone they thought they knew completely. A profound exploration of how we connect across different ways of experiencing the world.
