A little girl learns to bury things. Some she buries in the woods behind her house, in the small graveyard where the family's pets are laid to rest, wrapped and dressed with more tenderness than she was ever shown herself. Others she buries somewhere she can't reach, for decades.

Behind the Woodshed is the true story of a childhood spent surviving the unsurvivable - running into the woods at six years old rather than staying home, sleeping in a tent behind a gas station at ten because it was safer than her own bed, learning far too young how to read a room for danger and how to disappear when she couldn't. It is also the story of the people who, without ever knowing the full truth, showed her what safety could look like: a woman who let a child sleep on her floor for a swept kitchen, a gas station clerk who never asked why a little girl needed a friend.
