Outside the Big Oak Doors
By Michelle Tocher
Alice grew up with three brothers, an interfering aunt, and an artistic mother who shut herself behind the big oak doors of her art studio.
Now in her twenties, Alice starts telling family stories as a way of understanding the bizarre and puzzling things that went on in the house. With every story she tells, she gets closer to the skeleton in the closet that has been clamoring for freedom.
