When Caitlin Witherell was five years old, she saw a deer with a pelt that was every color of the rainbow and several more, standing in her back garden. She told her parents, who complimented her on her imagination and went back to their lives. She was bewildered, and put it out of her mind for the next seven years.Until, that is, she opens her eyes one morning and remembers. And so she decides to seek out the creature that she saw that morning. But what she finds in the forest will change her way of looking at the world... forever.
