Some call it Granny Witching, or Water Witching. Ona America Christie, the child of Scots-Irish indentured servants, insists she's simply a midwife in training. In 1805, Ona Christie thrives in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky. She does not have a mother to teach her the rules of how a polite young lady should behave. Instead she dwells with Fannie, an old medicine woman raising Ona as the Granny Witch Apprentice. Under Fannie's tutelage, Ona studies the secrets of the forest and develops unlikely relationships with those who share her path along the ancient trails of Calico Mountain. She explores little known passages through steep hillsides that runaway slaves sometimes travel. Upon being discovered by a Cherokee town hidden deep in the mountains, Ona will learn if Calico's rumors surrounding the last vestiges of the Kentucky Cherokee hold any truth in their venom. When corruption draws Ona to the sprawling city of Lexington, she must learn to navigate through the white linen gloves and gold-rimmed porcelain of aristocratic society in pursuit of what is most important to her. Ona finds herself caught in the cross hairs of violent conflicts, battling against those who would see her dead for unforgivable crimes.
