Inherent
Some of the greatest gifts in this world are inherent. Some of the greatest burdens are, too. In 1910, eight-year-old Abigail Rose is a patient at Mount Hurit Sanitarium, a sad place where patients with Tuberculosis stay for a strict regimen of rest, sunshine, and fresh air. With fierce determination and a feisty personality, Abigail keeps the weary staff on their toes all while trying to keep her baby sister safe.
In the present day, Ellie is not excited to have to spend two weeks at a historic inn in an idyllic village in Vermont with her mother and little brother while her mother explores an important job opportunity. Far from the noisy streets of Albany, Ellie is frustrated with the quiet, the lack of cell service, and the lack of opportunities for fun for a 14-year-old girl.
But mere hours after walking up the grand steps of the Winslow Inn, Ellie begins to notice that something strange lingers within the pristine property. Whispers are heard in the distance, threatening messages are left in scratchy writing, mysterious cairns are discovered deep in the forest, and the eerie history of the very place she is staying sends Ellie on a path of self-discovery that takes her through history, legends, curses, and time. With her quirky little brother and some new friends in tow, Ellie finds herself on a mission to protect those she loves most from a danger she can hardly fathom.
