Gifts, daughter of migrants from Ghana. Her family flew to America, but still a girl feels a stranger, lost between the two countries, religion and science.
The girl is in the sixth year of the Faculty of Neurology in Stanford, where she studies the neural chains of behavior associated with a thirst for remuneration, and depression and conducts experiments on mice. Scientific experiments for Gifts (she tries to wean mice from self -destructive actions in an aspiration for pleasure) is a way to figure out what is happening in her own family: to save her brother from addiction, to save the mother from depression.
A few years ago, the brother of Gift, a gifted athlete, died of an overdose of heroin, his father returned to Ganu, and his mother has not been able to overcome clinical depression for many years (she hopes to be healed).
Turning to science, Gifts stubbornly continues to look for answers in the bosom of the church that raised it. The salvation that the Church promises is angry to the girl and causes a feeling of hopelessness. Suscitating in science in one of the best universities in the world, Gifts recalls the family in which she grew up: in their relationship there always lacked warmth, but there were four of them, and only two were left. At the age of 28, Gifts acutely feels loneliness, keeps a diary in which he talks about the family under fictional names and keeps conversations with God. She finds her friend - a colleague in the laboratory of Katherine, and the young man Khan, with whom it is easier to carry the baggage of the past
