Excerpt:
For generations, for nearly a century, the Rofotou family had been gathering the pieces of a puzzle that they believed would unlock some grand secret of the universe, or some extravagant treasure, or at least some profound piece of wisdom. But I didn\\u2019t know anything about that before a dark-haired woman named Red came knocking on my door one day. I didn\\u2019t know why she asked to see my old dream logs.

And I certainly didn\\u2019t know what any of it had to do with Mrs. Highweather.
