Set against the backdrop of an abandoned farm, the narrative intertwines the lives of Alyson Thomson and Margaret MacBayne, a young woman from over a century ago. As Alyson discovers Margaret's writings, both women confront themes of loss and revenge. Margaret's expertise in herbs becomes a tool for contemplation as her happiness is shattered by her brothers. Simonds crafts a psychologically rich tale that explores the depths of personal discovery and the hidden truths we hold dear, ultimately questioning the cost of retribution.
