In this dazzling debut novel, a hidden and nearly forgotten magic—of Reforging pencils, bringing the memories they contain back to life—holds the power to transform a young woman’s relationship with her grandmother, and to mend long-lost connections across time and space.Monica Tsai spends&nbsp;most&nbsp;days&nbsp;on&nbsp;her&nbsp;computer,&nbsp;journaling the details&nbsp;of her&nbsp;ordinary&nbsp;life and&nbsp;coding for a program that seeks to connect strangers&nbsp;online.&nbsp;A&nbsp;self-proclaimed recluse, she's always&nbsp;struggled to make friends and, as a&nbsp;college freshman,&nbsp;finds herself escaping into&nbsp;a&nbsp;digital world, counting&nbsp;the days until she can return home&nbsp;to&nbsp;her beloved grandparents.&nbsp;They are now in their nineties,&nbsp;and Monica worries about&nbsp;them&nbsp;constantly—especially her grandmother,&nbsp;Yun, who&nbsp;survived&nbsp;two wars in&nbsp;China&nbsp;before&nbsp;coming&nbsp;to the&nbsp;States, and whose memory has begun to fade.Though&nbsp;Yun rarely speaks&nbsp;of&nbsp;her past,&nbsp;Monica&nbsp;is determined&nbsp;to&nbsp;find&nbsp;the&nbsp;long-lost&nbsp;cousin she was&nbsp;separated from&nbsp;years ago.&nbsp;One day, the&nbsp;very&nbsp;program&nbsp;Monica is&nbsp;helping to build&nbsp;connects her to a young woman,&nbsp;whose&nbsp;gift of a single pencil&nbsp;holds a surprising clue.&nbsp;Monica’s discovery&nbsp;of a&nbsp;hidden family history is exquisitely braided with&nbsp;Yun’s own&nbsp;memories&nbsp;as she writes of her&nbsp;years&nbsp;in Shanghai,&nbsp;working at the Phoenix Pencil Company. As&nbsp;WWII rages&nbsp;outside their door, Yun and her cousin, Meng, learn&nbsp;of&nbsp;a&nbsp;special&nbsp;power&nbsp;the women&nbsp;in&nbsp;their family possess: the ability to Reforge a pencil’s words.&nbsp;But&nbsp;when&nbsp;the government&nbsp;uncovers&nbsp;their secret, they are&nbsp;forced into a life of&nbsp;espionage, betraying other people’s stories&nbsp;to survive.Combining the cross-generational family saga and epistolary form of&nbsp;A Tale for the Time Being&nbsp;with the uplifting, emotional magic of&nbsp;The Midnight Library,&nbsp;Allison&nbsp;King’s stunning debut novel asks:&nbsp;who owns and inherits our&nbsp;stories?&nbsp;The answers and&nbsp;secrets that surface on the page&nbsp;may have the unerasable power to reconnect a family and restore a legacy.&nbsp;
