Roslyn Byrne’s career as a professional ballet dancer is ended with a car wreck and a miscarriage, leaving her lost and grieving. She needs a new path and, unable to return to her Appalachian roots, immures herself for the summer on Manny’s Island, Georgia. There Roslyn meets ten-year-old girl, Damascus Trezevant and finds herself caught in a mysterious stew of the past and present, the music of the river, and the dead and the dying who haunt the riverbank.
