Molly and Kip, immigrants come to America to escape the Irish potato famine, are on their own, and looking for employment. They hear of the Windsor house, and want to see if perhaps the Windsors are looking for servants. But the Windsor house is in the "sourwoods," and the only person who'll tell them how to get there is a creepy old storyteller they meet on the path. Upon arrival, they find a family of four, in poor health, and a house with a giant tree bursting through the foundation and walls. The tree has a secret, and soon Molly is as wrapped up in it as the Windsors.
This book has the feel of an old Grimm's fairy tale. Scary, but not TOO scary.
