Alicen McAffery finally has the life her mother always dreamed for her: a beautiful home in Santa Monica, a successful husband, and an adorable daughter. Then tragedy blows her carefully assembled faΓ§ade to pieces. Worse yetβAlicen feels solely responsible. At rock bottom, she decides to accompany a childhood friend back to Red Lodge, Montana, where they spent summers together as kids.
The peaceful mountain landscape, accented with lush forests and small-town charm, brings back happy memories of time spent with her beloved, eccentric Grandma Josephine. Alicen begins to hope that perhaps things could be different here. Perhaps the oppressive guilt will liftβif only for a moment.
But when Alicen starts hearing voices and seeing mysterious figures near the river in the woods, she begins to fear sheβs completely lost her sanity, as itβs rumored her grandmother did. Or might there be more to Red Lodge than meets the eye? Could the voices and visions be realβand her only means of finding the healing she so desperately needs? Or will they prove to be her final undoing?
