Deidra Ann is a twelve-year-old girl living in southern United States during the mid-1960s. Living with her grandmother and aunt, Deidra Ann has never met her mother.
Behind their house is a forest where mysterious things happen; a forest that is off limits to Deidra Ann. Some claim that her grandmother is a witch.
When Deidra Ann's classmate Jenny goes missing, they all want to help. Especially Deidra Ann, as it gives her a chance to explore the secretive, mysterious woods — and maybe prove the rumors about her grandmother right.
But what is really hiding deep in the forest, and could the stories about Deidra Ann's grandmother be true?
