Staying at her great-aunt’s cabin on the St. George River in Maine, Arian finds that House can communicate with her, River is composed of tears from generations of women’s lives, and that swallowing a sliver of the full moon is not an action to be taken lightly.
Her story is one of remembering, joining and healing four generations of mothers and daughters, including a reweaving of the stories of Demeter, Persephone and Hecate with breath-taking description and power.
