Maple and Dawn, hoping for a miracle to save their baby sister, set off in search of the Wise Woman, a rock formation in the mountains of Vermont said to have healing powers. The siblings trek fifteen miles through the wilderness, happening upon wild animals and poachers and sustaining serious injuries. Moulton describes the girls' journey--and their motivation--in vivid, heart-wrenching prose.
