An Incredibly sad story.
 the murder of two teenage girls happened 8 years ago, was never really looked into by the small town police force, and everyone blamed the lady who's property they were found on.

Each Moon descendent has a different gift - herbs, visions, scents - and the last Moon girl inherits the farm & decides to clear her grandmother's name before selling the property & returning to her life in New York City. 
She questions the townspeople, reopens old wounds, and eventually figures out who did it.

Mixed in with the murder plot is reconciliation, a journey to find herself, wisdom from unlikely sources, and a tiny bit of romance. 

I highlighted quite a few bits from this book, mostly about loss, love, and forgiveness.
