Description

Penelope Ross has always felt like a supporting character in her mother’s fairy tale—until the night of her seventeenth birthday, when she is thrust into one all her own. Pulled away from an evening with friends by a sudden message from her distant mother, Penny soon finds herself transported into the disorienting labyrinth of her childhood home, a maze filled with haunting memories.

As she drifts between past and present, prose and poetry, Penny is forced to confront the painful truth of her mother’s opioid addiction and untangle her fragmented memories. Yet the house is cunning and deceptive, determined to trap her within until she brings buried secrets to light. As Penny navigates the dark corridors of her mind, she begins to wonder if she possesses the strength to face the truths hidden within herself—and whether she’s brave enough to finally reclaim the brightness she’s long kept locked away.
