I den isolerte landsbyen Prospect på Cape Cod bor søstrene Jo og Claire Gilly. De er så ulike som tenkes kan. Jo er stille, ensom, utilnærmelig og gir seg hen til mysteriene på familiens saltfarm, mens Claire er populær og pen, og lengter etter å flykte fra saltet for enhver pris. Men Gilly-eiendommen gjemmer på en mørk arv som viser seg å være umulig å flykte fra. Selv om samfunnet halvveis mistenker Gilly-søstrene for å være hekser, hindrer det ikke Whit Turner, byens rikeste ungkar, fra å tvinge seg inn i livene deres. Han og Jo var barndomskjærester, men det er Claire - som fremdeles har kjærlighetssorg etter kjæresten på high school - som blir den han gifter seg med. Mange år senere, etter å ha brutt kontakten med familien, dras Claire tilbake til farmen sammen med det siste mennesket hun selv ville ha valgt: Hennes manns gravide elskerinne. Plutselig endres alliansene, gammel kjærlighet blusser opp igjen og nye kamplinjer tegnes. Det Gilly-søstrene lærer om hverandre, landskapet rundt dem, og saltets kraft, vil ikke bare endre livene deres for alltid, det vil også endre Gilly-familiens historie en gang for alle.

When Truly Plaice's mother was pregnant, the town of Aberdeen joined together in betting how recordbreakingly huge the baby boy would ultimately be. The girl who proved to be Truly paid the price of her enormity; her father blamed her for her mother's death in childbirth and was totally ill-equipped to raise either this giant child or her polar opposite sister Serena Jane, the epitome of femine perfection. When he, too, relinquishes his increasingly tenuous grip on life, Truly and Serena Jane are separated--Serena Jane to live a life of privilege and Truly to live on the outskirts of town, the subject of constant abuse and humiliation at the hands of her peers.Serena Jane's beauty proves to be her greatest blessing and her biggest curse, for it makes her the obsession of classmate Bob Bob Morgan, the youngest in a line of doctors for generations. Though they have long been the pillars of the community, the earliest Morgan married the town witch, Tabitha Dyerson, and the location of her fabled shadow book--containing mysterious secrets for healing and darker powers--has been the subject of town gossip ever since. Bob Bob Morgan, one of Truly's biggest tormentors, does the unthinkable to claim the prize of Serena Jane, and changes the destiny of all Aberdeen forever. It is only when Truly finds her calling--the ability to heal illness with herbs and naturopathic techniques,hidden within the folds of Robert Morgan's family quilt, that she begins to regain control over her life and herself. Unearthed family secrets, however, will lead to the kind of betrayal that eventually break the Morgan family apart forever, but Truly's reckoning with her own demons allows for both an uprooting of Aberdeen County, and the possibility of love in unexpected places.
