Fear, superstition, and self-trust

Set against a nineteenth-century U.S. backdrop, the novel centers on Megan Kelly and a palm reading that marks her out as a source of trouble. The events that follow bring fear, loneliness, and superstition into focus as Megan faces the burden of that prediction. The description frames her story around taking steps to free herself from those pressures, giving the book a coming-of-age thread alongside its historical setting.
