This National Book Award finalist is a revealing and beautifully written memoir and family history from acclaimed photographer Sally Mann.

This clothbound, slipcased special edition is limited to five hundred copies, signed and numbered by the artist. The book was printed on 150 gsm Phoenix Motion Xantur by Brilliant Graphics in Exton, Pennsylvania.

This is the stuff of which Greek dramas are made : impatience, terror, self-discovery, self-doubt, pain, vulnerability, role-playing, and a sense of immortality, all of which converge in Sally Mann's astonishing photographs.

Internationally acclaimed photographer Sally Mann offers a five-part meditation on mortality.

To mark the book's thirtieth anniversary, Aperture is reoriginating the groundbreaking classic At Twelve: Portraits of Young Women in a masterful facsimile edition.

Mann's subjects are her small children (a boy, a girl and a new baby), often shot when they're sick or hurt or just naked.
