A 62-year-old widow's routine inspection of a remote assisted living facility spirals into a fight for survival when a wronged tree spirit, a bitter ghost, and nature herself combine forces to exact long-overdue revenge in this Northwest gothic set in the Oregon mountain wilderness.
"A terrific mix of heart-warming and blood-chilling!" -- Wendy N. Wagner, Bram Stoker nominated author of Girl in the Creek.
"A rare gem that balances genuine dread with real warmth and wit." - Evan A., bookseller
"A quiet eco-horror about loss, grief, and secrets."-Emma W.
You're never too old to be a final girl. Recent widow Margie Thermopolis just wants to finish her last years of bureaucratic work and retire with her cats, plenty of IPA, and a good game of roller derby. Instead, she's haunted by her husband's medical debt-and his secret bonsai obsession. Sent to inspect a luxury assisted living facility built on the ruins of Old Grove Lodge, Margie is forced back to the site of her little brother's bizarre death fifty years earlier, and dubious memories of a murderous forest witch.
Trapped by a blizzard with a ruthless lumber baron, his dying mother, and nature itself, Margie digs up more than just the secrets of her past, for something ancient is awakening-and it remembers her.
