Shelby Jayne is not happy to be living in the bayou with her mother Mirage, a traiteur (healer) who left when Shelby was ten. A tree filled with blue glass bottles and secret messages, a mysterious new friend, and a charm bracelet that seems to hold special powers figure into this lyrical story about fitting in, forgiveness, and understanding.
