On a lush mountaintop trapped in time, two women vow to protect each other at all costs-and one young girl must defy her father to survive. An hour from the closest West Virginia mining town, fifteen-year-old Wren Bird lives in a cloistered mountain cabin with her parents. They have no car, no mailbox, and no visitors-except for her mother's lifelong best friend. One summer, a miracle performed by Wren's father snake-handling preacher quickly turns to tragedy. Shiner reveals the hidden story behind two generations' worth of Appalachian heartbreak and resolve.
