About

Ato has always seen his father as a real-life Superman, maybe even with a bit of Iron Man and the Hulk mixed in. When he dies, Ato and his mother are devastated, and struggle to put the pieces of their lives back together. So when Ato's mother decides he should spend the summer with his grandmother, he isn't sure what to expect. It certainly isn't arriving to find her preparing to bury the family sofa. As the summer goes by, Nana tells stories about the couch that span generations and that are by turns hilarious and heartbreaking. In listening, Ato discovers his father's vibrant, complicated life, and learns to honor his past with hope for his future.
