Annie has always felt a mixture of pride and embarrassment from her childhood growing up on a haunted farm. In the tale of The Birthing Tree, she starts to unravel the connections between the past and what she is called to do now. For weeks, dreams and intuition have called to her, urging her to leave small-town life and strike out on a road trip to find herself. Pulled by an unseen force she finds herself in the small northwestern town of Sutter South Dakota where with an unlikely band of confidants, she finds herself and something else too, something much older, with ancient, evil desires. In the process, she discovers that the world she knows exists alongside another world, one that most people ignore. There is a darkness within the light, on the edges of humanity, it lingers just at the edge of consciousness, hidden by denial, the creature watches and waits. When Annie's very existence threatens it, the dance of desire and hunger is overwhelming. The pieces of the puzzle slowly fit together, unraveling this mystery is her greatest challenge yet but it won't be her last.
