Knowing she can't fight them off forever, she's running out of options and is determined to do whatever it takes to survive. Enter Jack, with his killer smile and wicked sharp blades. He can see her.

"Vermont's story is filled with rebellious individuals and collective outbursts, people and moments that forged its path as a small, independent state with a strong sense of how to preserve its traditions while changing with the times.
