Persephone Glen had never been a very philosophical person. She is not one to ask deep or abstract questions. She never spends any considerable quantity of time contemplating the metaphysical or searching for underlying answers. Though her family has secrets, she is content to let sleeping dogs lie. However, when her little brother Henry disappears from their backyard, she is forced to make a change. In order to get her brother back, she has to venture into places that are frightening and mysterious. With each and every question she asks, she gets an answer deeper and more confusing than the last. Every question makes her journey harder, but every answer gets her a little closer to Henry.
