Piper, Janie and Dylan grew up together, in the most normal of neighborhoods. The most exciting thing in their small town lives was their mother's gossip. The most fun they had on any given day is a trip to the woods, behind their houses. But, as in every story, something happens. Something happens that shakes up normal, that flips everything upside down and backwards. Something happens that makes it impossible to go back to the peacefulness of before. Eight year old Janie is quiet and precise. Ten year old Dylan is in charge and forceful. Eight year old Piper is adventurous and unique. Nine year old Mila is dead.
