Meadowlarks

Financial stress binds a young widow to her lip-licking, ogle-eyed boss, and to urban violence that has taken her husband and might now take her nine-year-old son. After her husband is murdered by carjackers, Carolyn, her son, and their dog are forced to move in with Carolyn's all-knowing, hate-filled mother, leaving Carolyn desperate to find a safe way out. When her young son inherits her dead husband's estate, high in the Sierra-Nevada Mountains, Carolyn decides it's time to make the move onto a yet unseen cattle ranch - BUT - Carolyn Potter never anticipated death rising with the full moon. Carolyn is thrilled by her son's immediate connection to his inheritance, a beautiful, high-mountain cattle ranch, a fantastic home, community church, excellent school, and friendly, helpful neighbors, and by her own newfound sense of security and purpose. When she blocks the ritual slaughter of bull calves on their property, she unleashes a demon to attack their home and brutally murder two of their neighbors, shattering Carolyn's newfound sense of security.
