John Ozette owns an adventure tourism business in the Pacific Northwest that specifically caters to celebrities. A member of the Makah Tribe, he is drawn to a rundown sanitarium in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State after a mesmerizing encounter with a Seneca Indian woman whose ancestral home was there. He decides to reopen the site on Keuka Lake, and use it for its original intention: water cures.

Tara Caviston Grande runs the tasting room for a winery on Keuka Lake, but after dealing with a raucously drunk bridal party, she realizes the job is a waste of her creative potential. When her ex-husband recommends her interior design skills to John, she takes on the challenge enthusiastically. Charismatic yet enigmatic, John takes Tara along on his mystical journey as the lakeside community wonders how he can possibly afford the enormous cost of renovations ahead.

This second novel in the Caviston Sisters Mystery series winds along the picturesque banks of Keuka and Skaneateles lakes, and explores the untamed beauty of the Pacific Northwest, enhanced with a bit of magical realism.
