Summary

In Yonwood, North Carolina, Althea Tower has a vision of war. Nickie Randolph is unaware of this vision that has spread through the town when she and her aunt come to sell their late grandfather's house. There, she meets Amanda, a girl hiding in their closet, and Grover, a boy who likes snakes.

Every night on the news, and the conversations throughout the day, Nickie hears things about a looming war, fighting nations. Yonwood would do anything to keep their town safe with a shield of goodness. But Nickie isn't sure what's good anymore.
