Missing Charlie

Nona May Taylor was once a folk singer with fame and fortune, until a jealous witch placed a curse on her that aged her into old age, all because of a kiss from a night she can barely remember. She has since traded the spotlight for a remote home deep in the Montana woods.

One day she finds a wounded hiker near her property. Charlie is charming and easy to like, and Nona suspects he may be the one person who can lift the curse through true love. But Charlie is hiding something, an unseen presence moves through the trees around the cabin, and as Nona grows younger, the witch grows more suspicious. As winter draws to a close, Nona must decide how far she will go to reclaim her life, and what she is willing to risk for love.
