"The Red Grove is a special place, protected. Some say a spell was cast by the community's founder, Tamsen Nightingale. Some say the mountain lions who stalk the nearby hills guard its mysteries and its people. Some say the mighty redwoods keep them safe. Yet Luce's mother, Gloria, has gone missing. A man came seeking answers among the Red Grove's mysteries -- a connection to the beyond -- and died. And then Gloria vanished. The Red Grove is Luce's whole world. She is devoted to its mission, its rituals and myths. But she knows that her mother, frustrated free spirit though she might be, wouldn't just leave without a word, wouldn't leave her little brother, Roo, and especially their aunt Gem, whose care in that suspended state of everdream depends on Gloria in every way. But as Luce tries to figure out what has happened to her mother, she discovers that this special place is not what it seems and that protection comes at a cost. Tessa Fontaine's The Red Grove is an exploration of the legacies of violence, the price of safety, and the choices we make to protect what we love."--Publisher.
