Welcome to Cedar Mill, a past due-19th century professional town in the heart and soul of the New Shirt Pine Barrens. Rachel Morris - young, outspoken, and impulsive - becomes involved in a consuming marriage with David Cranmer, her long-time friend and partner-in-crime. Set against the background of a vividly-imagined historical town that is itself in the throes of major change, this marriage comes to influence Rachel and David (and everything who know them) with techniques that are simultaneously deeply-felt, heartbreaking and uncovering. On the other hand, in present-day Boston, 20-something Emma Harris is reeling from the recent loss of life of her mother. Teetering on the edge of unhappiness and yearning for the certainty of knowledge, Emma undertakes a journey of finding that finally leads her to the ruins of a Pine Barrens ghost town, where she might come to face the interested interplay between what is known and what is not, between fact and life - and, in so doing, find closure.
