The blood always remembers its way home

For forty-one years, Ana Tapias has obeyed a single rule left behind by her mother: feed the cat every day, or forfeit your life. Her skin burns in sunlight. Her windows are taped shut. When a grieving lawyer moves nto the house next door and Ana finally refuses the command, the animal shows her what her bloodline has been building toward — and what she is about to become.
