Escape from their needy and despotic widowed father, and from their San Antonio neighborhood, full of old San Antonio families and all the traditions and expectations that go along with them. In the summer after her senior year of high school, Ana, the oldest sister, falls to her death from her bedroom window. A year later, her three younger sisters, Jessica, Iridian, and Rosa, are still consumed by grief and haunted by their sister’s memory. Their dream of leaving Southtown now seems out of reach. But then strange things start happening around the house: mysterious laughter, mysterious shadows, mysterious writing on the walls. The sisters begin to wonder if Ana really is haunting them, trying to send them a message—and what exactly she’s trying to say.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In a stunning follow-up to her National Book Award–longlisted novel \u003ci\u003eAll the Wind in the World\u003c\/i\u003e, Samantha Mabry weaves an aching, magical novel that is one part family drama, one part ghost story, and one part love story.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Must-Read Novel According to \u003ci\u003eBuzzFeed \u003c\/i\u003e* \u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly \u003c\/i\u003e*\u003ci\u003e Ms. Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e * \u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e * \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e * \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e * Tor.com * \u003ci\u003eD Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Move over, Louisa May Alcott!
