Mistery

August 31, 1859, French Hill, Nova Scotia: A girl named Josey is picking blackberries with her friend Connie. As the girls gossip, a handsome stranger knocks on the door of Josey´s house. His name is Asa, and with his coming, Josey´s life--and later in time, Tara´s as well--is about to change forever. Because there is treasure in the woods that belong to Josey´s family. Gold--an untold fortune. Asa has a secret way of finding it, and his partnership with Josey´s father could make them all rich. But there is darkness in the woods, and in Asa. And in the present day, Tara, Josey´s descendent, is about to discover the truth about what really happened in the family´s past. Eisner award winner Hope Larson weaves together history, romance, and a touch of her trademark magical realism in this remarkable graphic novel of how the past haunts a teenage girl´s present.
