Amidst the beauty of the Wenatchee Valley at the feet of the Cascade Mountains, apple orchardist Claire Courtney struggles to make a living.
When strange and ancient artifacts are discovered beneath her land, Claire wonders whether the ensuing archaeological dig will save her, or be the final blow in her struggle to hang on to her home and livelihood. To make matters worse, conflict between the archaeologists on the dig - Joe Running from the west, and Spencer Grant from the east - threatens the entire project.
This multicultural novel brings together Native Americans, Latinos, and migrant workers from the American South to grapple over ownership of what lies beneath the earth.

Critic reviews
“Given the sheer volume of literature produced each year, it can sometimes be hard to find true works of such striking excellence as this tiny gem of a book.... The voices that spring out of every page seem to come from the mist of time and the furthest reaches of the human experience.... The book has some of the most creative and fully fleshed-out characters in modern fiction.” (US Review of Books)
“Fink has impressive command over the many swirling elements of her well-plotted novel.... The characterizations are strong, but the author has the ability to make the unique setting as important as the people. Archaeology and murder mix in this smart, picturesque novel that’s steeped in local culture.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Great setting and engaging characters!
This book is an intriguing mystery set against the backdrop of the historical Clovis dig in East Wenatchee, Washington in the late 1980's. I enjoyed the mixture of agricultural, academic, and archaeological settings, the intriguing character development with a strong female lead and the inclusion of Native American and Latino elements woven into the story. I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful, engaging tale!
