AN EXCERPT

As he speaks, father hands my poppet to me. Clutched to my chest, the silkiness of the doll’s hair,
my hair, snakes across my palm, sending a shiver down my back. Even after only a year, I don’t recognize myself in its time-darkened face. Its smile, once prominent, now draws in a thin line below its cheeks, no longer blushed with potential, but hollowed with wistful realization. I’ll never be able to exemplify their shallow perfection or present myself as a proper likeness of the servile young woman they wish me to be.
