The Persephone Project (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218927240)

Following a divorce, Sef moves back to Silver Lake, the mountain town where she grew up. Her plan is to live in her mother's pool house while she gets back on her feet, but her mother has other plans. Silver Lake's lush surrounding wilderness is besieged by forest fires and the unseasonably warm winter is only adding to the environmental crisis. Someone must bring winter back in order to restore balance and Sef's eccentric mother thinks Sef should take on that bewildering mission.
