Hulda Pearl Rosenkowski chose to survive, no matter the consequences. Poland may have been her homeland, but when murderous scavengers kill her mama and dear father, and brother Josef, during a raid on their house, she finds a way to escape. Unharmed physically but damaged forever, Hulda arrives in America with only the clothes on her back and a tattered potato bag containing a few scarce coins and precious family jewels. Dreams of becoming a "flapper" girl and brushes with members of the Detroit Purple Gang dominate Hulda's life as she counts down dwindling reserves, takes care of a broken-down farmhouse, a baby, and hides a secret that could land her in prison. Years later, as told through the eyes of small-town sheriff Claude Calkins, a story of rum-running and bootleggers stealing away in the dead-of-night with stashes of bathtub gin emerges and changes a young girl's life forever.

A direct experience of fragrances may be so intense that, as the smoke unfolds, time seems to stand still. Fire - as a source of transformation is a frequently used symbol. For every type of crossing into new dimensions of perception it is the essential energetic catalyst, as it is for the fragrant messages still enveloped in their material form. Succumbing to its power, they emerge to beguile our senses. Just as there are heavenly messengers who send their vibrations to earth, plants also send their fragrant messages from the kingdom of nature into higher realms. Each description of an individual plan includes a depiction of its fragrance message and practical advice for burning it as incense.
