SOLVED. YA Magic Realism/ Fantasy. Follows mother and daughter running from grandma who sends them letters. Read around 2013. [s]

I'm looking for a book I read around 2013 possibly. It follows a mother and daughter on the run from the mother's mother. I believe she grandmother sends letters to them. The story is told from the daughter's POV. I think there is also a part of the book where the daughter walks through a door and walks out into new york city in the wintertime, even though she had been in a small town in the building. I believe the girl goes through the doorway often to go to the city.

This is a fantasy?

Is the girl a teenager or a younger child?

Do you remember why they were on the run from the grandmother?

I would most likely categorize it as magical realism or fantasy. I remember her being a teenager. And I think they were on the run from the grandmother because the girl has powers that the grandma wants to teach her but the mom thinks her mother has bad intentions.

I think this is Magic or Madness.
