Talk about a beautiful sound.. my goodness.. I'm spellbound.

Here's my pitch

I pitched this to Rachelle Gardner's contest today... [she's a literary agent] ... crossing fingers and toes and all the kudzu in my yard..

In the fall of 1973 in north Alabama, nine year old Addie Campbell, vexed with ancient memories and guided only by starlight and stones, unearths long buried secrets along the banks of the Tennessee River.

... I'm stoked. And I've got so much more.. love this process.
