THE WITCH TREE

Pulitzer Prize nominee Johnson delivers a riveting standalone prequel to The Red Canoe.

Buck, born Michael Fineday but also known as Red Deer, is on his way to track down his wayward brother when he becomes trapped in a snowstorm. He is rescued by Sally, a girl fighting her own demons, and they bond over the shared wounds of their difficult pasts and all roads lead them to the Witch Tree - a spiritual place in Native American religion, a place where Buck is forced to face the many facets of his own identity and find a way for them both to heal. Of mixed Native and European descent, Johnson is also author of the acclaimed Paul Two Persons Mysteries, and The Devil You Know.
