The Power Behind a Name: How Identity Shapes Destiny
What's in a name? Everything, according to "The Names." Imagine standing in a hospital, cradling your newborn son, while your controlling husband demands the child bear his name. This simple decision-what to call your child-branches into three parallel realities that dramatically alter the trajectory of an entire family. Names aren't merely labels; they're vessels of power, identity, and sometimes destiny. They carry expectations, histories, and possibilities. When Cora defies her abusive husband by naming her son "Bear" instead of "Gordon," she sets in motion a cascade of consequences-some liberating, some devastating. This act of rebellion becomes the first domino in a sequence that will either free her family or condemn them to cycles of abuse. The novel asks us: How much of who we become is written in our names? And what courage does it take to defy those expectations and claim our own identity?
