Summary: Teen-aged Amy knows what's expected of her in the Clearing, the rural Australian community where she lives. It is to please her elders and make sure life in the community remains happy and calm. But when a 7 year-old girl is snatched as she walks home from school and is forced to join their community, what happens when she doesn't fit in and doesn't want to stay, changes Amy's life forever. This is also the story of Freya and her young son, whose lives intertwine with Amy's when someone from Freya's past arrives in the area, and secrets from their past come to the surface.
