Set in the late 19th century this book main character Elspeth Howell is coming home after many months of working as a midwife. As she crests the hill she notices that the farm looks abandoned. She finds that her family has been shot and the bodies are scattered throughout the house. It later develops that one son, Caleb, is still alive and he and his mother go on a trek to seek revenge against the 3 men who cut down their family.
As the book progresses we are filled into the back story of Elsbeth and her family and when the two settle into a town we meet a whole host of characters who all seem to have pasts they regret.
Wonderful descriptive writing the book will keep you hooked until the end.
