The supernatural shift of Penelope Goode continues in Book II. While trying to make sense of her ability to see into the past, she leaves her hometown of Portland for the mountains of northwestern Maine to visit a relative threatened with losing his property.

In the shadow of the Bigelow Mountain range, Pennie finds herself steeped in a community of loggers, hunters, and fishers, sensing the vibrations of hardy souls who settled in the river valley. Her visions take her back in time, the days before the villages of Flagstaff and Dead River were flooded by the power company.

Sinking even deeper into the past, she dreams of Benedict Arnold's epoch expedition through the untamed wilderness of the valley. By sensing the many vibrations of the land's storied history, Pennie discovers injustices of the past, and the freedom America fought for 250 years ago, to continue her fight for individual rights today.
