But for all her doubts about straying far from home and finding Ida she hasnt calculated the cost. Will chasing after family secrets destroy her relationship with her only sister? Will shining light on old truths cast shadows on memories of her beloved father and obscure her view of the past?STICK FIGURES FROM ROCKPORT is a story of loss and recovery an ode to the family you come from the family you choose and the landscapes that shape who we are.
