My Name Is Iris A Novel 1st Edition Brando Skyhorse by Brando Skyhorse instant download after payment.

Iris Prince is starting over. After years of drifting apart, she & her husband are going through a surprisingly drama-free divorce. She's moved to a new house in a new neighborhood, & has plans for gardening, coffee clubs, & spending more time with her nine-year-old daughter Melanie. It feels like her life is finally exactly what she wants it to be.

Then, one beautiful morning, she looks outside her kitchen window—and sees that a wall has appeared in her front yard overnight. Where did it come from? What does it mean? And why does it seem to keep growing?

Meanwhile, a Silicon Valley startup has launched a high-tech wrist wearable called "the Band." Pitched as a convenient, eco-friendly tool to help track local utilities & replace driver's licenses & IDs, the Band is available only to those who can prove parental citizenship. Suddenly, Iris, a proud second-generation Mexican American, is now of "unverifiable origin," unable to prove who she is, or where she, & her undocumented loved ones, belong. Amid a climate of fear & hate-fueled violence, Iris must confront how far she'll go to protect what matters to her most.

My Name Is Iris is an all-too-possible story about family, intolerance, & hope, offering a brilliant & timely look at one woman’s journey to discover who she can’t—& can—be.
