In the small quiet North Carolinian town of Newfield, strange things are beginning to happen, on the heels of a new arrival. A young woman with a puzzling past and a scandalous habit of constantly wearing wigs and long sleeves shirts despite the heat, soon has every one wondering what she is trying to hide? Trying desperately just to stage a fresh start in this small North Carolina town she eventually lands a promising job at a local bank branch. Things are starting to look up. But when more and more people begin suffering impossible demises, as a Supernatural phenomenon is starting to spread through town. The people are falling gradually into complete panic as this force disrupts their little town. While they have no idea as to what is happening, they are relentless in who to blame for their great misfortune. Befriended only by a fellow bank employee, she finds herself dragged into a spiral of chaos of literal Biblical proportions as the truth of the phenomenon that is “The Pruning” unfolds. Before it is over, the entire town--the entire world--will be familiar with the phenomenon.

Reviews

[Susanne Spellman · Rating 5 out of 5]

I like Leslie she's a good character trying to live under radar from an ugly past. The way she dresses makes her look like a walking mannequin; attracts unwanted attention. I feel sorry for Leslie and how she came to look that way. Supernatural occurrences seem to follow Leslie around picking out the most corrupt, hateful & villainous people giving them such an ending wishing they were never born. Double Scary, suspenseful and apocalyptic to boot.
