The Country Beyond Words Kevin MacNeil Brown

Becca Oakley, a brilliant Vermont naturalist recovering from a traumatic incident, seeks help when her wooded land in the shadow of the Green Mountains-- home to Abenaki people for many, many generations-- is vandalized and desecrated. Liam Dutra, with his reputation for finding lost objects and ancient stories, and Shawn Donahue, partner in Becca's field work, are willing to assist. But there are many layers to the situation: layers of time, landscape, geology, and local history. And it isn't long before Liam and Shawn realize that they are in way over their heads, as deeper mysteries are unearthed in a remote place that resonates with power, beauty--and danger.
