ABOUT
THE BOOK

In Terrace Story, Annie and her family find a beautiful terrace hidden in the closet of their cramped city apartment. It seems to only appear when their friend Stephanie visits. But every extra bit of space has a hidden cost, and the terrace sets off a seismic chain of events, forever changing the shape of the world. Terrace Story is exploration of space and of love — how distance is an unavoidable part of life and how nearness can never be completely near, even with the people we love the most.
