Standing tall in the rains of Washington State are blades of grassthat grow so thick they almost whistle in the winds during a storm. Theyreach far and wide along Heather’s back yard. She used to play there withher sister Kendra until she disappeared about 7 years ago. Since her motherdied when she was young, all Heather was left with after that was herfather, the town Sheriff, who has lived inside a bottle most of her life.She left after high school, confused and angry, and went away to college.Now she is returning to wade through the tall grass and find the secrets sheknows are hidden there. To find answers to the questions she has about hersister’s disappearance, the ones she knows her father has buried beneath thetall grass. Secrets that may cost her the very breath she breathes and theonly family she has left.As she parts the grass and starts to dig at its roots she begins to realizethat those secrets might be better off hidden. It’s too late, she hasalready stirred up the soil and uncovered a truth she would have neverexpected.
