Maggie Gard has returned to the Idaho mountains after a series of setbacks to work at the service station her family runs and be there for her grandfather who seems to be failing. Instead of peace, she meets a stranger who is in trouble and will challenge her on every level. With him, she will begin to unravel secrets that will impact her view of the world.
The story is one of mysticism, the paranormal, power run amok, ancient religious traditions, and that of a passionate love between two very different people who are also trying to find peace of mind regarding the religious and spiritual heritages of their families. The following passage is from the book when Maggie is remembering a childhood conversation with her dead grandmother:
‘Dream, Sky Daughter, dream of the future and of all that will be.’‘Grandma, I don’t remember my dreams.‘You must try harder. Dreams are the spirits speaking to you. They are your power.'‘Mama says they’re not.’‘Your mama had to follow her path and you must follow yours. They are not the same.'‘How do you know?’‘I know and you will too when the time come.'‘How?'Her grandmother just smiled. ‘You will.’‘You could tell me now.'‘No one should tell another their path, Sky Daughter, but someday you will know yours.’
