"Penelope Ross has always felt like a character in her mother's fairytale--until the night of her sixteenth birthday, when she enters a fairy tale of her own. After a text from her estranged mother rips her away from a night with friends, Penny wanders into a kaleidoscope of memories locked inside the dark labyrinth of her childhood home. The house has missed her, but the house is tricky. With its slanting floors, broken windows, and peeling wallpaper, the house reminds Penny too much of herself. Forced to confront her mother's opioid addiction to mend her own fractured story, Penny weaves between present and past--prose and verse--unsure she has the courage to free the light she trapped inside"-- Dust jacket flap.
