When Faye Travers is called upon to appraise the estate of a family in her small New Hampshire town, she isn t surprised to discover a forgotten cache of valuable Native American artifacts. However, she stops dead in her tracks when she finds a rare drum a powerful yet delicate object, made from a massive moose skin stretched across a hollow of cedar, ornamented with symbols and dressed in beads of brass and red tassels for without touching the instrument she hears it sound. From Faye s discovery, we trace the drum s passage both backward and forward in time and discover how it changes the lives of those whose paths it crosses. "
