[edit] Plot
Haunting native legends merge with the modern world as two cultures collide, and a young woman struggles with long-forgotten memories of her mother’s suicide.
Thirteen years ago, Sarah Richardson’s life was shattered when her mother committed suicide after battling a debillitating disease. The shocking tragedy left a grief-stricken teen-aged Sarah with partial amnesia. Some things are easier to forget.
But a familiar voice from her past sends Sarah, a talented mid-twenties ad exec, back to her past. A past that she had thought was long buried. Some things are meant to be buried.
Torn by nightmares and visions of a yellow-eyed wolf, yet aided by the creatures of the Earth and by the killer whales that call to her in the night, Sarah's life parallels the native legends that were told to her by a wise old native grandmother. In the end, she must face her fears and uncover the truth―even if it destroys her. Some things are meant to be remembered―at all cost.
