About This Book
A persecuted orphan girl named Fran runs from two bullying brothers who pursue her with sexualized violence; she finds refuge in a ravine and squeezes into a narrow crevice while exhausted and terrified. Hidden, she experiences a startling physical change that renders her skin visually similar to surrounding rock, complicating her sense of self. The boys briefly search and depart, leaving her to confront fear, painful memories of loss, and the precarious awakening of womanhood. The tale alternates urgent chase scenes with close psychological observation of vulnerability, survival, and bodily transformation.
