New York: Harper Collins, (1992.) dj. Hardcover first edition - This account of a family's move to a small town in North Carolina is a 'powerful, uplifting tale of loss and redemption around an American family's bittersweet triumph over a welter of dark forces, both natural and supernatural.' Very different from Card's other works, and at least partially inspired by his own move to NC with his wife and 3 children. 448 pp. ISBN: 0-06-0166932.
