An outsider to the Carolina hills inherits a gift that could change everything for her village on the verge of dying, from the author NPR said "writes with a deep knowledge of the enduring myths of Appalachia...vividly portraying real people and sorrows." Welcome to Baines Creek, a humble hamlet hidden deep in Appalachia, where the last one-room schoolhouse in North Carolina is on the brink of closing. It's summer 1980, and Kate Shaw the teacher has lived in Baines Creek for ten years. A skeptic at heart, she rejects superstitions and Appalachian folklore, much to the disappointment of Birdie Rocas, a powerful and reclusive witch with a trove of secrets. Yet when Birdie dies, she leaves Kate her collection of handmade books and a shocking legacy that spans centuries; Kate is thrown into a world that overwhelms her. Enter Lydia Brown, a psychic with a curious birthmark whose visions stopped the day her parents died. Grief-stricken without her gift, and desperate for spiritual guidance, she travels to Baines Creek in search of Birdie and the answers she might provide. The third novel by acclaimed author Leah Weiss, The Creek, The Crone, and the Crow is the tale of a powerful crone, two women cut from the cloth of loss, and a secret sisterhood of empowerment that may be the key to healing them all.
