Written by Lisabeth Guay, co-host of The Where Our Minds Wander Podcast.
Is it a moment of madness? I wondered, as my new young friend flung pages of her writing down the well, even though I could not read them.
She must be going mad, I feared, to profess to me the almost nightly visits of the horrifying Old Hag she swears steals into our bedroom in the witching hour to try and steal her soul.

Adelia Noble finds herself at her Aunt and Uncle’s farm in rural Peru, New York in the days before the Battle of Plattsburgh, having left Vermont due to the outbreak of consumption that has killed her parents. Lonely and homesick, she is curious to meet Lucretia Davidson, who has fled to the farm to escape the impending battle.
Quiet and careful Adelia and precocious and odd Lucretia become fast friends, their
futures entwined, sending them each on the same path, while at the same time, slowly pulling them apart.
Can their friendship survive this world and the next?
