Liddie Rose Marsh grows up in a place where it’s all right to have more-or-less cousins and miscellaneous relatives and old folks and young folks and car engines and chickens all sharing the same space: where kids are taken along to dances at the Town Hall and where her pear-shaped aunt is carrying out a feud with the minister across the road. It seems like a rural idyll, but one day a Ouija board changes everything.
At times tragic, at times side-splittingly funny, the story charts a family and a community under pressure. Set in beautiful Prince Edward County, Ontario, the fictional village of Hopewell has been home to the Marsh family (and their chickens) for generations – but times they are a-changin’ and Liddie, with her wry wit and down-to-earth character must face each challenge as it comes.
