Publisher's Synopsis
In a moment of crisis, Ellis Abbey leaves her daughter, Viola unattended for just a few minutes. But when she returns, Viola is gone. A breaking point in an already fractured marriage, Viola's abduction causes Ellis to disappear as well - into grief, guilt and addiction. Convinced she can only do more harm to her family, Ellis leaves her husband and young sons, burying her desperate ache for her children deeper with every step into the mountain wildernesses she treks alone. In a remote area of Washington, a young girl named Raven keeps secrets inside too. She must never speak to outsiders about how her mother makes miracles spring from the Earth or about her father, whose mysterious presence sometimes frightens her. Raven spends her days learning how to use her rare gifts and more important, how to hide them.
