Deep Down
Karen Harper
As a child, Jessica Lockwood spent many hours helping her mother, Mariah, count the endangered ginseng plants hidden in the local woods of Deep Down, Kentucky. There she learned to appreciate the tiny Appalachian town – and ginseng's healing powers.
When Jessie is notified that her mother never returned from her last walk in the woods, she comes home to Deep Down. As Jessie and Sheriff Drew Webb race to find her mother, several suspects emerge: an agent for those who market the herb for its life–giving properties; Mariah's disgruntled suitor; and an old Cherokee desperate to protect the sacred tribal herb.
In the mist of legend and fear, only two things make sense to Jessie. At any cost, she is desperate to find her mother. And she can't help falling desperately in love with Drew all over again.
