Mountain Echoes

They say you can't go home, and honestly, it's the last thing shaman Joanne Walker ever wanted to do. But as she reels from the fallout of her Irish heritage, Jo is pulled back to North Carolina in search of her estranged father, who hasn't just gone missing: he's disappeared from the whole damn timeline. On the positive side, that means she doesn't actually have to face him...but her father isn't the only person she left behind in the Appalachian mountains. Her son Aidan, given up at birth and now a stranger to her, is beginning to come in to his own power-and into the midst of the supernatural battle Joanne has been fighting for over a year. Jo knows there are old evils in the hills, eager for new blood...and that she has absolutely no authority over Aidan to help keep him out of their greedy clutches. Her best hope is to keep herself between him and the monsters- -and she'll go any distance, even through the mists of time, to do so. Guided by the newest of her spirit animals, accompanied by her hope for the future, and personally running on fumes, Joanne must protect not only Aidan, but the community that she rejected years ago. And without their help, she may well lose the battle against a deadly legend that has lain in wait for centuries....
