Riley Cross needs quiet more than she needs answers. A cheap old rental on Weaver Street seems like a fresh start, creaking floors and all. Then she finds the sealed pantry. Behind it is not storage, but a corridor that should not exist, a house that stretches on and on, changing its rules as you learn them. Rooms echo with half-remembered nights. Photographs do not always show what you saw. A forgotten diary hints at others who walked these halls and never learned how to leave.

"C'è qualcosa che ho compreso nel profondo, forse la cosa più preziosa che posso condividere con chi mi legge. Amare se stessi non è sentirsi splendidi, non è inseguire uno stereotipo di vita. È accogliere la nostra umanità. E dirsi di si quando dentro piove, è accettare le sbavature, le paure che ci bloccano. È comprendere il perché ci autosabotiamo: non è rincorrere il quadro senza macchie." Ameya Canovi Perché abbiamo paura di essere felici? Troppo spesso il presente ci sta stretto e aneliamo a modificarlo, ma ci sentiamo bloccati.
