Eine junge Pastorin am Niederrhein, eine Mutter, die unermüdlich für ihr Kind kämpft, und eine Dorfgemeinschaft, die Schicksal spielt: Anne Gesthuysens neuer Roman ist da! In der kleinen Gemeinde Alpen am Niederrhein laufen die Vorbereitungen für das jährliche Spargelfest auf Hochtouren. Während die Zelte aufgebaut werden und der Chor rund um Ottilie Oymann über »diskriminierungssensible Sprache« in alten Liedtexten streitet, hat die Pastorin Anna von Betteray ganz andere Sorgen. Raffaela, ein Mädchen, das seit einem Unfall geistig behindert ist, liegt im Koma. Sie wurde bewusstlos aufgefunden, niemand weiß, was passiert ist. Umso mehr brodelt die Gerüchteküche. Wurde das Mädchen Opfer einer Gewalttat? Stecken Drogendealer oder Spargelstecher dahinter? Die Polizei folgt den spärlichen Spuren, das Dorf ermittelt eifrig mit. Auch ihre eigene Familie bereitet Anna Kummer: Ihre Schwester Maria kämpft mit ihrer Sucht und Ängsten, ihr Neffe Sascha sucht nach Halt, und ihre Mutter versucht ständig, sie zu verkuppeln. Als unvorhergesehene Ereignisse die Familien zusammenbringen, zeigt sich: Hoffnung kann blühen, wenn man es am wenigsten erwartet. Voll psychologischem Feingefühl und mit hinreißendem Witz erzählt Anne Gesthuysen von Schuldgefühlen und Mutterliebe, der Kraft einer Gemeinschaft und einem Leben, das endlich gelebt werden will.
