Synopsis

From CREA Press, featuring original art and collages made in partnership with the New York Public Library Picture Collection, comes a tale of sisters, secrets, and a house that sees it all.

A PENINSULA OFF THE COAST OF MAINE, LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2022

Pruitt's Neck Farmhouse was built in 1860 on sacred Penobscot land. Since then, it has seen inhabitants ebb and flow, archiving their stories in its interior. Bess Coleman bought the farmhouse in 1918. Three generations of Colemans have since inhabited the space, leaving memories in unseen places. When sisters, Emily and Corinna, get the call that the house has finally been put on the market they must make the decision to revisit or bury the past.

Structured as a will and told from the perspectives of multiple characters, including the House, this lyrical tale follows the unfolding of a family’s trauma across time and place—beginning and ending with a Penobscot community on Maine’s southeast coast.
