About the Book

"When the aristocratic Golden family moves into a self contained pocket of New York City, a park in Greenwich Village called 'The Gardens,' their past is an absolute mystery. They seem to be hiding in plain sight: Nero Golden, the powerful but shady patriarch, and his sons Petya, a high functioning autistic and recluse; Apu, the successful artist who may or may not be profound; and D, the enchanting youngest son whose gender confusion mirrors the confusion, and possibilities, of the world around him.
