About the book, from the publisher:
When her mother goes missing, a young woman uncovers the secrets beneath her protected community.Visit Tessa Fontaine's website.
What kind of world might we have, who might we become, if everyone were truly safe? What price would we pay for that kind of freedom?
There are secrets beneath every community―even those founded with the purest of intentions―secrets as strong and reaching as the roots that keep us connected to one another and anchored to home.
The Red Grove is a special place, protected. Some say a spell was cast by its founder, Tamsen Nightingale. Some say the mountain lions stalking the nearby hills guard its mysteries and its boundaries. Some say the mighty redwoods keep its people safe.
--Marshal Zeringue
