A young girl wears her heart on her sleeve. Her father struggles to support the family and accepts a devastating offer from a strange figure... Can a woman without hands reach into a pool of dark memories to reclaim her own future?

Cara Silversmith has lived with a chronic condition for most of her adult life. Her storytelling celebrates diverse identities, the environment and the creation of a better world.
