Description: Sometimes I believe the baby will never stop crying. Sixteen-year-old Amanda Verner fears she is losing her mind. When her family decide to move from their small mountain cabin to the vast prairie, Amanda hopes she can leave her haunting memories behind: of her sickly Ma giving birth to a terribly afflicted baby; of the cabin fever that claimed Amanda's mind; of the wonderfully distracting boy who she has been meeting in secret...and whose baby she now carries. But the Verners arrive on the prairie to find their new home soaked in blood. So much blood. And Amanda has heard stories - about men losing their minds and killing their families, about the land being tainted by wickedness. With the guilt and shame of her sins weighing on her, Amanda can't be sure if the true evil lies in the land, or deep within her soul ...
