Lenny and Alexandra's lives come together when Alex inherits the land which has been in Lonny's family for generations. For years Lonny has been troubled by the fact that he disturbed the Indian burial mound there, but he feels resentful that a city girl is inheriting the land that his stepfather loves. Their first meeting is tense, but they come to realise that together they can heal the hurts and loneliness of their past.
Martha Brooks writes a complex tale of love, loss, regret and redemption, weaving the spirit world of the Native Americans with everyday life.
