"A talented 16-year-old artist slowly discovers the history of domestic violence behind why her brother left the family years earlier and why she suddenly cannot make art"--
As long as she can remember, Sarah has "done the art." Suddenly she can't draw, and she thinks she's having an existential crisis. After all, she keeps running into past and future versions of herself as she wanders the urban ruins of Philadelphia. Or maybe she's finally waking up to the tornado that is her family, the tornado that six years ago sent her older brother flying across the country for a reason she can't quite recall. After decades of staying together "for the kids" the foundation of lies and domestic violence Sarah's parents built has begun to crumble. In the ruins of their toxic marriage, nothing about Sarah's pain is remotely original-- and yet it still hurts.
