About this ebook
Sam Teres spent his boyhood summers at the family cottage on a socialist utopian mountain, a world apart from his father’s stern immigrant household. There, he was shaped by two forces: his magnetic, paranoid aunt, who radiated a dangerous energy, and his artist uncle, who taught him how to build a fireplace stone by stone and how to “expand the moment.” But the cottage held secrets in its stones, in its open doors, and in the $10,000 his uncle demanded from him alone.
Now, decades later, Sam finally owns the place. The ghosts, however, have never left. As he unearths a hidden chamber filled with cryptic books and a stack of legal papers detailing a family’s brutal war against their landlord, he is forced to confront the woman who danced too close, the man who nearly crushed him with a single chop, and a mother whose silent devastation he never understood.
