Vera is called him to the bedside of her dying mother. When Vera gets there her memories go back in time. Vera always loved her father the most and was only tolerated by her mom. Vera was much like her father in many ways. She craved the closeness of the house and the darkness it brought out in her mind. Will Vera escape her past or does she even want to? 

The book was spooky, but the ending didn’t pack as much punch as I’d like. I don’t mind an ambiguous ending, but this one seemed unnecessary.
