Lizzie was always the follower in her older sister Tess's fantastical games, but as Tess fell deeper into mental illness, her behavior grew more disturbing. Now, five years after Tess's death, Lizzie tries to find a way up from the depths of mourning and guilt. Pixley's intense, lyrical novel floats gracefully between present and past, painting a portrait of Tess's "magic."
