What The Reviewers Are Saying:
"[A] masterpiece . . . The Unsettled is poised to be a significant addition to contemporary literature, affirming Mathis’s status as a gifted and influential voice in the literary world . . . An emotionally charged journey through the intricate tapestry of family, love, and the relentless pursuit of belonging." - Essence
"Important . . . The Unsettled bears within its title the affective work that it accomplishes.
