Raised in a small mountain community, she is the child of everyone and no one at once, yet longs for something beyond the bounds of what she knows. Called by the woods, that one forbidden place, what will she find when she leaves the path created for her? Meanwhile, stories abound of another woman who also went astray, who wandered into the wilderness long ago…
