At first the townspeople of Cherryvale welcome the beautiful young medium, Kate Bender and her family. No one knows about their other business, the shortcut to a better life. They're careful. It's only from those who travel alone, and who can easily disappear, that the Benders demand their pound of flesh.
But even a gifted seer like Kate can make a misstep. Now, as the secrets festering beneath the family orchard threaten to bring them all to ruin, the Benders must sharped their craft - or vanish themselves.
