Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The summer A.J. turned thirteen changed everything. He has spent years trying to understand what happened in that house on Birchcrest Drive, and even longer trying to forget it. A scholarship to an art school has helped. New friends, new work, the first real sense that his life might finally belong to him. Then a letter arrives asking A.J. to take back the portrait he painted years ago. The Pope family can no longer bear to look at it. A.J. has no idea what he is bringing home with him. Dreams become whispers. Whispers become a voice he recognizes. The portraits multiply - stacked against every wall of his studio, filling every corner - and something that has always loved A.J. grows stronger with each one added to the pile. Nicholas Pope has been waiting a long time. He knows exactly what was taken from him, and he believes A.J. is the only person in the world who can give it back. He may be right. But the cost of what Nicky wants will be paid by everyone A.J. loves.
