Alice has everything she thought she wanted: a beautiful newborn daughter named Dawn, a supportive husband who studies Mohawk culture, and a pristine home in an upscale Toronto neighborhood. But beneath this picture-perfect surface, something is cracking. She’s the only Indigenous resident on her block, struggling to connect with her baby while grieving her mother’s recent death, and haunted by the feeling that she doesn’t belong in this life she’s built.
When Alice begins losing time and hearing inexplicable voices, her neighbors’ polite smiles start to feel more like threats. Steve insists it’s all in her head, but Alice knows better. The answer lies somewhere in the Haudenosaunee creation story she’s been trying to write—if only she can finish it before time runs out.
Alicia Elliott delivers a mind-bending psychological thriller that cuts straight to the bone.
