Elizabeth Goodweather and her husband built a rewarding life in the hills and hollows of their adopted Appalachian home. But now Elizabeth is alone, her husband tragically killed, her children grown, the land around her filled with customs and beliefs she cannot share. Itβs still a good lifeβtending the small herb and flower businessβbut Elizabethβs fragile peace is about to be shattered.
Cletus Gentry vanished while hunting ginseng in the hillsβand his mother is sure the childlike man was murdered. As Elizabeth retraces Cletusβs last wanderings, she will discover that a killer has been waiting all the while in the coves and hollows near her farm for her to see the light...and then come willingly to her own death.
