The last descendant of an infamous witch on a Pacific Northwest island, high-school dropout Nor can hear the thoughts of plants and animals. Nor witnesses a mass exodus of animals, and plants begin to act strangely; her impulse to self-harm becomes harder to control; and she regularly awakes from horrific nightmares--harbingers of her wicked mother's return. Walton's horror tale features a vivid setting, lyrical prose, and engaging characters.
