A lonely witch makes herself a daughter from clay, blood, and a tooth from her own jaw — a child in her own image, meant to stay by her side forever.

But Adelaide is not the daughter she imagined.

Drawn to books, animals, and a quieter kind of magic, Adelaide grows further from the life her mother has chosen for her. As the coven closes in and the pressure to change becomes impossible to ignore, Adelaide must decide who she will become.

A darkly whimsical gothic fairy tale about mothers and daughters, expectation and selfhood, and the courage it takes to choose your own path.

Original artist book created using traditional dip pen illustrations, genuine typewritten text and independently published and bound by hand under the imprint Mimsy Press.
