Hausheld Open Access

Abstract

The novella Hausheld tells the story of Sadie and Taylor, a mother and daughter who go to great lengths to bury the pain of their past until Robert, the deceased husband of Sadie and father of Taylor, appears as a ghost. “The barn,” Robert says, urging them to return to his family home in New Hausheld, Pennsylvania, where they must face the hidden history that shaped their family. Memories, they learn, cannot be ignored or denied. Secrets feed on neglect, until they’re too big to conceal.
