What do a mental institution, the eight Sabbats of the year, the FBI, a credit-fraud scheme, Amish runaways, terrorists, Secaucus, New Jersey, Multiple Personality Disorder, a tornado, and absolutely killer shoes have in common? They have Cassie Rivers, (Pagan name: Alluvia, ) who joins the Church of River And Pasture (CRAP) because she thinks it might be an interesting diversion after the rough year she's just had. Cassie just wants a group to belong to; instead, she gets a lot more than she bargained for. As the Wheel of the Year turns and the Sabbats come 'round one by one, she will find that there is more zany insanity in eight little celebrations than in most circuses-and that she'll be lucky to get out of this year without losing her money, her mind and her heart. Oh, and maybe she'll even find someone who can pronounce her Pagan name
