Picturing Alyssa

Meer over het boek

Alyssa is drawn to a 1931 Iowa farm depicted in an old family portrait, contrasting sharply with her own unhappy life. Her desire to escape leads her to form a bond with Deborah, a girl connected to the farm. However, as Alyssa examines more family photos, she uncovers unsettling truths about Deborah's family that raise questions about their past and the nature of their friendship. The story explores themes of nostalgia, friendship, and the hidden complexities of family histories.
