In a house full of dark memories, two sisters try to escape the past Holland Shepard is a responsible teenager who spends her life trying to keep her feelings inside. Her sister Geneva is the oppositeâa bundle of nerves who dreads sentimentality, but suffers so acutely from nervous disorders that a ride in an elevator is enough to send her into a fit. The girls are like summer and fallâclose, yet utterly distinctâbut in their parentsâ house, they are growing up almost as ghosts. Because this home belongs to John, Kevin, and ElizabethâHolland and Genevaâs siblings, who died before the girls were born. Burdened by grief, their parents cannot bond with the daughters who replaced their original family, and so it is left to Holland to look out for herself and her sister. When a mysterious artist comes to paint a mural in their house, the girls get a glimpse into their familyâs past and a chance to find themselves a place in its future. This ebook features a personal history by Adele Griffin including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the authorâs own collection. |
