Rosalee, the last living headstrong daughter in Granny McKenzie's line, soaked up everything she could about the secrets of the forest before a series of tragedies left her alone, without the protection of the women who came before her. The close-knit ties of Rosalee's childhood are long gone. Now, at her eastern Kentucky farm, she bears a marriage with a volatile bootlegger. She struggles with the demands of motherhood. And her independence is relegated to its "proper place": under the thumb of men. Her optimism dimming, Rosalee finds solace in the Kentucky woods, a space that holds secret powers of protection from a life Rosalee can no longer control. To the graves of her female ancestors, beside the waters of an enchanting spring, Rosalee returns time and again to consider her future--and discovers a mysterious connection to her past. As Rosalee wrestles with her isolation, with being a wife in an increasingly dangerous marriage, and with being a woman of her time, she must draw on her strength and resilience to survive--and to protect--on her own terms. 650 0 $a Women healers $z Kentucky $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $z Kentucky $x Fiction. $y 20th century $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Alcohol trafficking $x Fiction. 651 0 $a Kentucky $x Fiction. $y 20th century $x Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220913015249.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B4AD0548332911ED9E74557829ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
