520    "In 1926 in rural Green County, Arkansas, where cotton and
       poverty reign, young Coralee Harper hopes for a family and
       a place in her community, but when her brother Buddy is 
       killed by a powerful sheriff, she can't recover from his 
       death or the injustice of his loss. When she begins to 
       spot her dead brother around town, she wonders-is she 
       clairvoyant, mistaken, or is she losing her mind? What 
       Coralee can't fathom is that there are forces at work that
       threaten her and the very fabric of the town: Leroy 
       Harrison, a newly minted, ambitious lawyer who makes a 
       horrible mistake, landing him a judgeship and a guilty 
       conscience for life; an evangelical preacher and his flock
       of snake-handling parishioners; the women of the town who,
       along with Coralee's own mother, make up their own kind of
       jury for Coralee's behavior; Sheriff Wiley Slocum who 
       rules the entire field, harboring dark secrets of his own;
       and finally, Coralee's husband Earl, who tries to balance 
       his work at the cotton gin with his fight for family and 
       Coralee's life. When Coralee ends up in a sanity hearing 
       before Judge Leroy Harrison, the judge must decide both 
       Coralee's fate and his own. The chain of events following 
       his decision draws him mor\e deeply into the sheriff's far
       -reaching sphere of influence, and reveals the destructive
       nature of power, even-and especially-his own"--|cProvided
