Evil takes root… As a child, Jessie Lockwood spent many hours
helping her mother, Mariah, count the endangered ginseng plants hidden
in the local woods of Deep Down, Kentucky. There she learned to
appreciate the tiny Appalachian town—and ginseng’s healing powers.
Now a PhD, she’s made her home in Lexington, even though that meant
leaving Deep Down and her beloved mother—and Sheriff Drew Webb, the
man she secretly loved. When Jessie is notified that her mother never
returned from her last walk in the woods, she comes home to Deep
Down—and to Drew. As Jessie and Drew race to find her mother,
several suspects emerge: an agent for those who market the herb for
its life-giving properties; Mariah’s disgruntled suitor; and an old
Cherokee desperate to protect the sacred tribal herb. In the mist of
legend and fear, only two things make sense to Jessie. At any cost,
she is desperate to find her mother. And she can’t help falling
desperately in love with Drew all over again. Originally published in
