A nameless girl, who dwells in the small New England town of Paper Falls, recalls a mysterious autumn experience. One October night, a storm lashes through the quaint little village, leaving behind a cold and eerie mess of trees and fog. The girl, a lonely connoisseur of imagination, takes a stroll to the graveyard the morning after, carefully passing the disheveled white house that stands near the graveyards front gates. An old woman who lives inside has remained a mystery to the girl for years, as well as to the town, but after a series of enchanting events, the girl comes face-to-face with the woman who encourages her not to waste her gifts of perception, expression, and words.
