Each life lived leaves an impression. A mark on the people and places it encounters. Old houses are full of such impressions. Old houses are full of secrets. Dani is good at finding them. She's also good at misreading texts and accidentally injuring herself, but that's beside the point. As she embarks on an investigation into the secrets of her home, Dani stumbles (literally and figuratively), but she doesn't give up. Will the whirl of shifting relationships, family pressures, and a new houseguest finally knock Dani down or land her squarely on her own two feet?
