Summary
When widow Sarah Breckinridge witnesses meat falling from a clear Kentucky sky in 1876, she alone recognizes the pattern—the pieces fall on ancient surveyor marks, each whispering memories of lives lived centuries before. As the railroad cuts deeper through sacred burial ground, Sarah must confront what has awakened beneath the soil before the entire town becomes part of the harvest.

Settings
The Railroad Cut
A raw wound through Kentucky earth where Drummond's crew has sliced through hillsides and ancient ground. Exposed rock faces reveal layers of time, and the smell of disturbed soil hangs perpetually in the air where the meat shower falls most heavily.
The Breckinridge Farm
A small farmstead on the edge of Bath County where surveyor marks carved into boundary stones pre-date American settlement. The farmhouse lists slightly southward, as if drawn toward the burial ground, and the soil refuses to yield crops despite Sarah's labor.
