"A haunting memoir of childhood trauma, building a life, and wounds that never heal. "Not a year before I ran away from home at seventeen, I stepped out of the house at dusk, still able to see shrub oaks thinned out for winter, fame flower, too, and dun clay so wet the smell of it seemed settled in my skin."

As the years pass, Hanson struggles with guilt for leaving her siblings as she slowly realizes she could not save them.
