ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi tells the story of Gifty, a neuroscientist, as she grapples with her family's history of addiction, mental illness, and the complexities of faith. The narrative alternates between Gifty’s childhood in Alabama, marked by her Pentecostal upbringing and her brother Nana’s struggles with addiction, and her present life as a graduate student at Stanford, where she is focused on her research into reward-seeking behavior in mice. Gifty’s scientific pursuit becomes a way to understand her family's pain, as she seeks to find answers to questions that have eluded her through religion and personal experience. The story delves into themes of cultural identity, the immigrant experience, the limitations of science, the nature of faith, and the search for meaning in the face of loss. The book explores how science and religion can both provide and fail to provide answers when confronting the complexities of life.
