Ohio, 1878.
When the Gibson family loses their farm, Sarah Gibson is forced onto a westward journey she never wanted. Alongside her mother Rebecca, her brother Gabriel, his wife Annabelle, and young Mary, she leaves behind everything familiar and follows the promise of a new life in Oregon.
But her mother Rebecca has secrets.
For generations, the women of the Hathorne bloodline have carried an ancient psalm book and a dangerous understanding of the world: every blessing demands a sacrifice, every miracle requires payment, and debts are remembered long after mankind has forgotten them.
As the family crosses the vast American frontier, Sarah's already troubled relationship with her mother begins to unravel. Increasingly aware of a power awakening within herself, Sarah must confront the terrifying possibility that her mother may be right.
In an act of mercy amid a horrific accident, Sarah’s use of that power unleashes something long caged. Neither spirit nor demon, the Thin Man is older than civilization itself—a hungry force that feeds on mankind’s desires, greed, and indifference.
To protect the only family she has left, Sarah must confront truths about her bloodline, her mother's terrible choices, and the consequences of the power growing within her.
Among the Juniper is a haunting literary folk horror novel of family, destiny, sacrifice, and the untamed American West.
Genre: Western
