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 it steals in through our bedroom window in the witching hour to try and steal her soul.

Is madness contagious?

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 excited to meet Lucretia Davidson whose family has fled to the farm for safety.

So begins the lifelong friendship between careful and quiet Adelia and precocious and odd Lucretia. The two girls' futures become entwined, sending them down the same path while, at the same time, slowly pulling them apart. Can their friendship survive this world and the next?
