Under the shadow of the mountains in the the Cowlitz River Valley lived a small boy named William and a little girl by the name of Ruby. Their family came from a long line of farmers. Their grandfather had been a farmer and their great grandfather and so on as long as anyone could remember. So it was, when their grandfather retired that he turned the family farm over to their mother.

This year had been a difficult one for the family. Prices were down for the milk their cows produced and flooding had all but wiped out their corn crops. Something else seemed a little different as well… Will and Ruby (who if you hadn’t guessed by now are siblings) had just moved into a new room in the attic which their father had recently refinished. There was something strange about this room though. When their mother came down with the sickness it was about the same time they both started having the same strange dreams. Stranger still the events that unfold in the dreams seem to forebode what happens next in their lives….
