For two young girls in the 1960s, the family backyard is both playground and prison. Among the bushes and brambles, it offers places to hide from the rages of their war-scarred father, places that also become secret gardens of the imagination.

Lisa Shea's haunting first novel probes the dark place where adolescent fantasies and real terrors collide.…mehr
