â€œHypnotic and glowing.â€ â€” New York Times Book Review

â€œAn intriguing mystery with clues, suspense, enigmas galore, and an exhilarating, witty, poignant paean to the unexplainable, the unsolvable, the irreducibly mysterious.â€
â€” Boston Globe
Â
Ruth and Nat are seventeen. They are orphans. And they may be able to talk to the dead. Enter Mr. Bell, a con man with his own mystical interests. Together they embark on an unexpected journey that connects meteor sites, utopian communities, lost mothers, and a scar that maps its way across Ruthâ€™s face.

Decades later and after years of absence, Ruth visits her niece, Cora. But while Ruth used to speak to the dead, she now wonâ€™t speak at all. She leads Cora on a mysterious mission that involves crossing the entire state of New York on foot.Â Where is she taking them? And whoâ€”or whatâ€”is hidden in the woods at the end of the road?

â€œAn escapist adventure, a gothic page-turner that is also so finely crafted that youâ€™ll feel enriched as well as transported for having read it.â€ â€” Esquire

â€œAn American gothic fever dream.â€ â€” Chicago Tribune
