Zinnia Taylor lives on a farm in Bybanks, Kentucky, with a 'slew' of brothers and sisters. One summer, Zinny discovers an overgrown trail, twenty miles long, which she becomes determined to clear. Along the way, she uncovers mysteries about her family and herself. As Zinny clears her trail, she tries on different identities: Zinny Taylor, explorer; Zinny Taylor, archeologist; Zinny Taylor, agent of doom! This was like me, when I was young and running down those trails. I'd imagine that I was an escaped convict, or an explorer, or a hunter.
