It speaks of wounds that never quite closed, of ghosts that still linger in the corners of memory, of survival that does not always look like victory. It is, at its heart, an unflinching account of what it means to grow up unseen, unheard, and unwanted—and what it takes to unlearn that lesson.

A leathery bog-man transforms an old love affair; a sweet, gruesome gift is sent by the wife of an ex-lover; landscape paintings are haunted by the ghost of a young girl.
