In the aftermath of World War II, two women with unusual gifts must
protect a mysterious baby in a poignant tale of family, sacrifice and
magic.
Barrie Anne Blythe and her aunt Charlotte have always known that the
other residents of their small coastal community find them peculiar --
two women living alone on the outskirts of town. It is the price of
concealing their strange and dangerous family secret.
But two events threaten to upend their lives forever. The first is the
arrival of a mysterious abandoned baby with a hint of power like their
own. The second is the sudden reappearance of Barrie Anne's long-lost
husband -- who is not quite the man she thought she married.
Together, Barrie Anne and Charlotte must decide how far they are willing
to go to protect themselves -- and the child they think of as their own
-- from suspicious neighbors, the government, and even their own family.
