About this listen
"Those who do dare to enter, do it for the magic plant that only grows there.”
Folks don't want to go near Cahootus Hollow. It's tucked away from the other villages, and the people who live in the hollow don't welcome outsiders.
Clara doesn't believe in magic, but her mother has become obsessed with the hollow's magical plant. Running the family farm falls to Clara and her brother, while her mother shrinks ever deeper inside herself. Clara doesn't know how long she can keep their lives going, as each moment becomes more of a struggle.
One day, Clara comes across a house near the river. The secrets it holds can unlock her past if she's brave enough to figure out who she is and discover her true place in the hollow.

Story
Born on a plantation in Charles City, Virginia, Pheby Delores Brown has lived a relatively sheltered life. Shielded by her mother’s position as the estate’s medicine woman and cherished by the Master’s sister, she is set apart from the others on the plantation, belonging to neither world. She’d been promised freedom on her eighteenth birthday, but instead of the idyllic life she imagined with her true love, Essex Henry, Pheby is forced to leave the only home she has ever known. She unexpectedly finds herself thrust into the bowels of slavery at the infamous Devil’s Half Acre.

Story
The morning of January 12, 1888, was unusually mild, following a punishing cold spell. It was warm enough for the homesteaders of the Dakota Territory to venture out again and for their children to return to school without their heavy coats - leaving them unprepared when disaster struck. At the hour when most prairie schools were letting out for the day, a terrifying, fast-moving blizzard blew in without warning. Schoolteachers as young as 16 were suddenly faced with life-and-death decisions.

Need a pick-me-up after this one…
Great narration, but such a sad and tormented story, and a most miserable happy ending.
