Set in pre-war Hastings-on-Hudson, post-war Brooklyn and Manhattan, and contemporary Long Island, New York, the stories explore family secrets that can and cannot stay hidden as history repeats itself in haunting ways. As an episodic collection of stories, each one is told from the perspective of a different family member. From a mother sent off to a mental asylum, to her adult son later trapped in an attic by his wife and children, this collection shows the power of secrets and the lengths we will go to in order to keep them hidden. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotable awards and publications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2018 - \"Ribbon\" (flash fiction version) Top 10 Finalist in WOW!
