In
remote Southern Appalachia, the mountain trails and hollows beckon
young Maizee Hurd after she is left homeless by tragedy. A new
life unfolds for Maizee as World War II looms. With only a small
suitcase, a rag doll and her mama‘s Bible in hand, Maizee arrives in the
isolated village of Christian Bend with its strange language,
superstitions and tri-racial inhabitants. When the shock waves of war
shatter the calm of the community, even the local healer, Burdy
Luttrell, can‘t silence Maizee’s “voices” and a deaf-mute child
named Rain knows far more than he lets on.
