A sweeping, introspective novel about a man who has spent his life running — from cities, from love, and from the children he left behind — only to discover that the past does not disappear, it waits.

Piter Pirson, once a restless traveler incapable of staying anywhere long enough to belong, is forced to confront the lives he unknowingly created across continents. As his children begin to find him one by one, he must learn how to be a father to strangers, a partner without escape routes, and a man without the option of disappearance. From Europe to Africa to a remote Caribbean island, the story follows a fractured family slowly assembling itself into something fragile but real.

At its heart, the novel explores themes of responsibility, redemption, and the possibility of building a home not from place, but from people. It is a quiet, emotionally powerful story about second chances — and about the moment a man realizes that staying may be the bravest journey of all.
