Picturing Alyssa

Every time Alyssa looks at an old family portrait, she lands on an Iowa farm in 1931. The past is nothing like Alyssa's unhappy life, and Alyssa finds herself wanting to live on the farm with her new friend, Deborah. But a series of old family photos shows Alyssa unsettling things about Deborah's family -- things Deborah seems not to know.
