Just as this specter looks back to intrepid Cherokee fighter Nancy Ward and forward to a pair of present-day girls who'll retrace her steps, the Stargill boys (hardheaded car dealer Robert Lee, Army officer Garrett, country singer Charles Martin, and jack-of-all-natures Clayt) and their neighbors, J.Z. Nora quietly declines to identify the child or illuminate the mystery, but McCrumb is more obliging, dropping frequent hints about a ghostly girl who wanders the nearby woods, unable to take her final leave of the land.
Quite a homecoming for stricken Tennessee patriarch Randall Stargill's four sons: Their first family reunion in years includes at least one dead member, a child whose bones are duly presented to the family by elderly seer Nora Bonesteel.
