Ornament -Paperback

From Rick Powell — the Father of Mannequins — comes Ornament, a darkly festive tale perfectly suited for the most delightfully creepy day of the year.

Judith’s life looks picture-perfect from the outside. Beautiful home. Quiet neighborhood. First snow drifting past the window. But beneath the surface, her marriage is rotting and the silence is suffocating. Then she finds Agnes’s craft circle. A sisterhood. A sanctuary. And secrets older than any holiday tradition you’ve ever known. Because some ornaments aren’t made from tinsel and glass. Some transformations cost everything. And some women, pushed far enough, discover that the oldest rituals weren’t born from joy. They were born from necessity.

Ornament is a visceral, razor-sharp exploration of female rage, liberation, and the terrible beauty that blooms when a woman finally stops pretending everything is fine
