We all want to create our own lives, but other people's histories haunt us all. In this Southern Gothic novella, a young woman is kidnapped from Birmingham, Alabama, and then taken to a dilapidated house in rural Alabama. The country family holding her hostage refuses to explain what they want with her, preferring to give her hints in hopes she'll remember them. The most important clue is a homemade book of constellations...an egg, a frying pan, a snake. Who found these shapes in the sky?
