Sidekick
Eugenie (Gennie) Malone

Hometown
I was born just down the road in Languor, Kentucky. I was orphaned at age three and brought here to the North Homage Shaker village, where I was raised.

Age
I'm in my late thirties somewhere. I lose track.

Occupation
I'm first and foremost a Shaker Sister, currently serving as eldress of North Homage.

How did...
One morning Gennie found a body in our Herb House. Though we Believers are nonviolent, the county sheriff was out to prove that one of us was the killer. So I did some investigating of my own.

Pet
A certain Shaker Elder who insists we leap back a century and live as we did at the height of our strength. He makes life very difficult!
