Maybe by being there she can recapture some sort of joy. It's the only place she can remember feeling truly at home. So, over the years, she immersed herself in books about "The Cape." She arrives and finds that modern life there doesn't match her fantastical imaginings of whalers, pirates, and ghosts. So, she sets out to mold her surroundings to fit her mind's creation. Enid tries befriending her neighbors and a black lab. She attempts to immerse herself in the plentiful nature around her. But when her relentless optimism turns people off, she retreats to where she has always found solace - in stories. Enid's Wall is a story about belonging. Reeled in by the lure of local ghost stories, Enid's mind fills with sounds of the sails of lost ships fluttering in the wind and the songs of drowned sailors. The more she struggles to connect with the living, the more the ghosts become inviting. Those around her may think she's going crazy, she knows the truth: The ghost ships will sail again. Enid's passion for the folklore, legends, and history of the Cape provides a path to becoming one with the place she has always adored. In the end, she becomes a legend herself. Written by
