Growing up in the '80s and '90s in St. Louis, Octavian Munroe and Mina
Rose found a future in music. Between the stacks at Rahsaan's Records,
the two fell in love to the sounds of Prince and A Tribe Called Quest.
But in the wake of grief and heartbreak, they drifted apart, ultimately
leaving the city for fresh starts.
Decades later, Rahsaan's Records is closing for good. Seeking closure of
their own, Octavian and Mina travel homeward, reckoning with the ghosts
of the past they left behind and the uncertain future they must create.
Insightful and nostalgic, There You Are is a wise novel of love, loss,
and the power of community, backed by a phenomenal soundtrack of hip
hop, soul, and jazz.
