Sisters Sarah and Catherine each have a secret.As winter gives way to spring at the bleak and isolated farm where they live,the burden of these secrets becomes intolerable.Interwoven with the sisters' story, is the life of their mother,Jane.
Death itself has not broken the power she has over her children.Sarah and Catherine come to realize that their lives,their secrets and their destinies are more complex,and more terrible,than they had ever imagined.
