(3) YA Lyza's family lives quietly in a Maine cove village. Pater carves sculptures of the dead and launches them out to sea while Mater sews dresses; Lyza has no artistic skills, no gift for creating. When Mater dies in the 1918 influenza pandemic, Lyza must keep Pater from an asylum. This dark, chilling supernatural tale leads readers beyond the boundaries of this world.
