Heavy Cream

Heavy Cream is a nuanced coming-of-age novel that follows sixteen-year-old Geraldine, who, after being abandoned by her mother, is mentored by three very different women who each seek to shape her identity. Set against a backdrop of Manhattan privilege, unconventional motherhood, and complex family dynamics, the story explores themes of self-invention, love, and mental health. Praised for its humor, compassion, and vivid storytelling, the book offers a compelling look at a young woman’s journey toward self-discovery.
