In a psilocybin-fueled vision, she urges him toward Big Spring. Hans Welker is the family veterinarian, German immigrant, and doting father to a miniature donkey named "Marlena." Dr. Welker suspects a local mine as the cause of the Tower family's deadly trouble. Ian Laney, Poplar Bluff Medical Center's resident neurologist, follows his mid-life crisis toward oblivion. Gambling and sex addiction pitch him into a titanic struggle between planetary preservation and global ruin.

Humanity's fate rests in the balance of her patience.All the while, an American Chestnut tree-remnant of a lost species-guards the Tower family cemetery. It waits above Big Spring. But is it destined to preserve or destroy? ¿¿"Matlock's book is a compelling story that grabs the reader's heart right from the beginning.
