Ilana Masad Books in Order

After her mother Iris dies, Maggie Krause discovers five sealed letters addressed to men she does not recognize. She sets out to deliver them, seeking answers about the mother who struggled with Maggie's sexuality while confronting grief and uncertainty in her own relationship.

An alien-abduction account, a lesbian science-fiction writer’s letters, and a present-day archivist’s childhood memories intertwine. Investigating these records exposes trauma, queer longing, and uncertain boundaries between fact and fiction, as each narrator struggles to make an experience understood.
