Pruitt's Neck Farmhouse was built in 1860 on sacred Penobscot land. Since then, it has seen inhabitants ebb and flow, tucking their stories into its interior for safekeeping. Bess Coleman bought the farmhouse in 1918. Three generations of Colemans have since inhabited the space, leaving memories in unseen places. When sisters, Emily and Corinna, get the call that the house has finally been put on the market, they make the decision to return, bursting the seams of a memory archive that will leave them changed forever.
Part magical realism, part historical fiction, To Will a House tells an all too familiar story about the worlds we choose to forget. Structured as a will and told from the perspectives of multiple characters, including the House, this lyrical tale follows the unfolding of a family's trauma across time and place-beginning and ending with a Penobscot community on Maine's southeast coast.
