"There are fears in the airs and on the earth that can call up a fire in your heart whose ash will blacken all hope." 

Set in colonial New England, a woman goes missing, or has possibly ran away, or possibly been kidnapped. She finds herself alone wandering a forest until she meets another woman. Everything changes as she goes on a journey that takes her deep in the woods while discovering herself. 

This is one of those books where nothing makes sense and you spend the entire time trying to understand what it all means. The main character, who comes to be called Goody, has one strange experience after the next that makes the reader unsure whether it is all a dream or if it's reality. 

So much happens in this book, but I don't want to go into too much detail as it's only just over 200 pages long and it's something you should experience for yourself. It is whimsical and bizarre, a story that looks at betrayal, revenge, and redemption. Other characters are introduced as Goody meets Captain Jane and Eliza, women of the woods who become a part of her adventure. We do not know their true intentions, yet they appear to be strong and knowledgeable. 

I am still unsure how I feel about books written like a fever dream. I enjoy strange books and I wanted to love it, but perhaps the confusion of it all got the best of me. However, the ending ties everything together nicely as it resolves some questions I had throughout.
