The book is set in the 1930's during the depression.Tess Moore witnesses a woman walk over to the families water well and toss a baby into the well. Yes That is how the book starts off. The family at first do not believe her but it becomes painfully true after the Mother takes a trip to the well. Tess has nightmares and struggles almost daily. Her and her older Sister Virgie try to figure out who would do such a thing throughout the whole book. I have mixed feeling on how I feel about this book. The writing is flawless but the story just did not draw me in. It lacked a sense of direction at times and others it was dull. I don't want to give the ending away but I did not like how she ended it. Writing is a three star book but the story is a two star.
