Someone, or some thing, has invaded the sleepy little town of Garing Cross, and young Jesse Jean Montgomery finds herself facing this ancient curse alone. And despite her considerable IQ, she's not equipped to handle what's coming down main street in the darkness. Garing Cross is a story about a girl growing up, a girl who doesn't fit in, a girl who is misunderstood and left alone, facing trials that leave the adults around her paralyzed. She's a loner and yet she longs to be part of something greater - she seeks her tribe, her people. It's about family and ancient curses and unspoken history, about separation and trials and coming home.
