"Twenty-three year old photographer Cane Walker specializes in infant postmortem portraits. In Marrow, North Carolina in the fifties, such practices are still prized and sought out. Cane's is a tale of a young disfigured woman growing up in a small town that oozes with despair, hope, and desire ... Hiding behind the camera, Cane uncovers love and heartache while she longs to be included in the community around her"--T.p. verso.
