Aminda Ingerham's father will not wake up. The blacksmith's lecherous son will not leave her alone. The sawmill workers will not accept her in her father's place. And the Pastor's spittle-flecked, fire-and-brimstone sermons are only making matters worse. To save her father's mill-and his life-fifteen-year-old Aminda must put her trust in a mysterious old tinker, a handsome village outcast and a troublesome treasure map, each leading her to strange and dangerous places she'd never imagined she'd go. Only then can Aminda find the Treasure in the Flame.
