Lexie, a quiet, teenage newspaper carrier in the small Mid-Western town of Ft. Ferree, runs into a boy, Kevin, who knocks her off her feet (literally). Almost immediately, some surprising twists from their individual pasts push them toward each other and force them to work together for the good of the town. By the time they are ready to think of each other as boyfriend and girlfriend, they are already up to their eyeballs in a complex paranormal mystery. By the first day of summer, things come to a head and they are required to take drastic action to save themselves, their friends, and their town. The novel has elements of history woven throughout, from Scottish and Celtic to Native American, as well as more than a taste of small-town Americana. Though the characters, events, and (most) locations are fictional, by the time you finish the book, you’ll feel as if they are quite real.
