Set in 1665, The Weeping Grove tells the story of Margaret Talloway, a grief-stricken widow exiled from her Puritan community for alleged witchcraft, and Ji-Yun, a Korean herbalist navigating life in colonial New England after being shipwrecked on the American coast. Margaret lives on the outskirts of a foreboding forest, tending to her deceased husband's land while trying to escape the whispers of the superstitious townsfolk. Ji-Yun, seeking rare herbs to aid the dying wife of a local magistrate, arrives at Margaret’s doorstep in search of help. Initially wary of each other, the two outcasts bond over shared feelings of isolation and loss. Their tenuous peace is shattered when they begin hearing strange whispers from the forest—a place the locals call The Weeping Grove. Legends speak of lovers who entered the grove and never returned, their cries echoing in the trees. When Margaret’s husband appears to her in a ghostly vision, begging her to enter the grove, she and Ji-Yun are drawn into a chilling investigation of its mysteries. As they uncover the grove’s cursed history—a tragic love affair between a Puritan woman and a Wampanoag man—they are forced to confront their own buried desires and fears. The deeper they venture, the more their connection grows, but the grove has a will of its own, and it demands a sacrifice.
