"Chera Hammons writes fiction with the same lyricism that makes her poetry shine. Every sentence sings with grace and music."

--RICHARD KRAWIEC

Anna and her husband John, a master saddlemaker, have created a quiet existence for themselves in rural Vermont. When John disappears in the woods near their home, Anna hides what she finds there in a desperate effort to ensure her own survival. She must learn to live alone in a landscape where poachers trespass, coyotes roam, bears menace livestock, and winter starves the wild animals--while debilitating illness and long-buried secrets threaten to upturn her life.
