520    "From the bestselling author of A Mind Spread Out on the 
       Ground, a fierce, gripping novel about Native life, 
       motherhood and mental health that follows a young Mohawk 
       woman who discovers that the picture-perfect life she 
       always hoped for may have horrifying consequences. On the 
       surface, Alice is exactly where she should be in life: 
       she's just given birth to a beautiful baby girl, Dawn; her
       ever-charming husband Steve--a white academic whose area 
       of study is conveniently her own Mohawk culture--is 
       nothing but supportive; and they've just moved into a new 
       home in a wealthy neighbourhood in Toronto, a generous 
       gift from her in-laws. But Alice could not feel like more 
       of an imposter. She isn't connecting with Dawn, a struggle
       made even more difficult by the recent loss of her own 
       mother, and every waking moment is spent hiding her 
       despair from Steve and their picture-perfect neighbours, 
       amongst whom she's the sole Indigenous resident. Even when
       she does have a moment to herself, her perpetual self-
       doubt hinders the one vestige of her old life she has left
       : her goal of writing a modern retelling of the 
       Haudenosaunee creation story. At first, Alice is convinced
       her discomfort is of her own making. She has gotten 
       everything she always dreamed of, after all. But then 
       strange things start happening. She finds herself losing 
       bits of time, hearing voices she can't explain, and 
       speaking with things that should not be talking back to 
       her, all while her neighbours' passive aggression begins 
       to morph into something far more threatening. Though Steve
       urges her this is all in her head, Alice cannot fight the 
       feeling that something is very, very wrong, and that in 
       her creation story lies the key to her, and Dawn's, 
       survival. . . . She just has to finish it before it's too 
       late. Told in Alice's raw and darkly funny voice, And Then
       She Fell is an urgent and unflinching look at inherited 
       trauma, womanhood, denial and false allyship, that speeds 
       to an unpredictable--and unforgettable--climax"--
