Amazon Description:

In Journal, Kristine Atkinson and Joyce Atkinson conjure the voyeuristic appeal of finding a stranger’s diary, then becoming transfixed with the secrets contained within. These pages belong to artist, wife, and mother Amy Zoe Mason, whose riveting storytelling relies equally on visual and verbal clues.

Using an old book as her canvas, Amy layers words, collages, newspaper clippings, and emails into a personal narrative that at first feels familiar, until the sense of alarm begins to build. Readers will find themselves scouring the pages for missed hints and important evidence, compelled to interpret the signs.
