Naomi Vance never wanted this house. She inherited it from a mother who fled it at nineteen and never once looked back - leaving her daughter nothing but a farmhouse deep in the Vermont woods, and a single unexplained warning: Don't stay past your birthday.
Renovating the house to sell it, Naomi finds a sealed attic room, her great-grandmother's journal, and a family pattern no one will speak of directly: for four generations, the eldest Vance daughter has died or vanished within weeks of turning thirty-five. Naomi turns thirty-five in eleven weeks.
Renovating the house to sell it, Naomi finds a sealed attic room, her great-grandmother's journal, and a family pattern no one will speak of directly: for four generations, the eldest Vance daughter has died or vanished within weeks of turning thirty-five. Naomi turns thirty-five in eleven weeks.
Is something ancient and patient living in the walls of her family's house - or is she inheriting the same hereditary breakdown that quietly institutionalized the women who came before her? As the days count down, Naomi has to decide whether to run, the way her mother did, or finally do what no Vance woman has ever had the chance to do: face whatever's waiting, and refuse it.
