Description
In 1915, Adelaide Henry flees California for Montana with a fire at her back and a trunk that holds a secret she can’t afford to carry into the light. What begins as a desperate bid for safety and self-determination turns into a historical horror journey through colonization’s violence, the fragility of belonging, and the cost of survival. As Adelaide tries to build a homestead and a future, the land—and the stories people tell about it—pushes back, forcing her to confront what she escaped and what she can’t outrun. Victor LaValle’s sharp, lyrical style blends dread with cultural insight, making this a shiver-inducing exploration of community, independence, and the haunting ways the past refuses to stay buried.
