Sitting next to her mother, Rosie held
a single red rose as tears streamed down her little face. News that
her grandfather had died devastated and shocked her as Michael
insisted that she not be told of the inevitable before it occurred.
He could not bear to see her joy be replaced with weeks or months
of sorrow.

Now, as his lifeless body lay before
her in the silver casket, the little girl felt the sadness her
grandfather wished somehow would never come and the stark reality
of a future without him. Wade sat next to Sara and tried his best
to comfort her, but he knew that nothing could. The love of their
mother's life was gone.

Bobby was in the row behind the family
and he, too, was in tears. The Benjamins were also there to pay
their final respects. They had long moved out of Cornelius' house,
but their newly-formed friendship with the Cullens
remained.

* * *

After the death of her father, Mira
moved back to Mizpah to be with her mother and enrolled in college
to finish her degree. She knew her father would be proud. As for
romance, that would have to wait.

Rosie was happy to live in her
grandparents' home as every so often, she would have a special
visitor—one smiling at her with the love and affection she always
felt when he was alive.

Thirteen-year-old Mira is very unhappy
at home. She hates the way her emotionally unavailable father
treats her mother -- a woman who practically worships the ground he
walks on.
But things are about to change.
One day, Mira and her brother Wade head out to explore a large,
wooded area near their home. They are unaware that their innocent
adventure would open up the bowels of history in a most uncanny
way. Shortly after their exploration, an uninvited guest invades
their personal space. Unsure of what to do, Mira turns to the one
source that is bound to have all the answers--a rather unlikely
source.
