Girls appear and disappear, but so do women. We know this because blood talks to blood.
The town of Larissa, Texas, has secrets. Native girls are going missing, decades-old conflicts are hiding just below the surface, and Emily Howard is speaking to her ancestors. At eleven years old, the peculiar Emily does not fit in. It might be her bizarre fear of doorways, or the strange illnesses that plague her, or the obvious fact that she is not a blood relative of her mother. Regardless, Emily's arrival to Larissa, Texas, changes the search for the missing children and the way the women of Larissa relate to each other. A story wrought with the griefs of womanhood, the burdens of ancestral trauma, and the realities of indigeneity in the United States, The Divining Season follows as the community of Larissa reels with its profound losses and Emily discovers where in this tangled world of the living, the dead, and the missing that she fits in.
