West Hall, Vermont, has always been a town of strange disappearances and
old legends. The most mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who, in
1908, was found dead in the field behind her house just months after the
tragic death of her daughter.
Now, in present day, nineteen-year-old Ruthie lives in Sara's farmhouse
with her mother, Alice, and her younger sister. Alice has always
insisted that they live off the grid, a decision that has weighty
consequences when Ruthie wakes up one morning to find that Alice has
vanished. In her search for clues, she is startled to find a copy of
Sara Harrison Shea's diary hidden beneath the floorboards of her
mother's bedroom. As Ruthie gets sucked into the historical mystery, she
discovers that she's not the only person looking for someone that
they've lost. But she may be the only one who can stop history from
repeating itself.
