On a dark Kentucky night in 1952, Annie Holleran runs through her familys lavender fields toward the Baines well. Everyone knows Hollerans dont go near Baines-- not since Joseph Carl was buried two decades before. And when the body she sees in the moonlight is discovered come morning, Annie will have much to explain. In 1936, Annies aunt, Juna Crowley, came of age. Before Juna, Joseph Carl had been the best of the seven Baine brothers. But then he looked into Junas eyes and they made him do things that cost people their lives. As she comes of age as Aunt Juna once did, Annies dread mounts. If Annie is to save her family and this small Kentucky town, she must prepare for Junas return, and the revelation of what really happened.,
