Miracle From the Mountain follows the legend of the black panther, Heighla, the old Pawqua woman, Bella and the birth of a girl named Hazel. Set in the 1900s in the hollows west of Calico Rock, Arkansas, Hazel re-examines the events of the night she was snatched from the jaws of the panther to solve the mystery of her parentage. Her adoptive mother, Bella, schooled her in the ways of healing plants and magic words of her people, the Osage. Dubbed a witch by the locals, Hazel proves her merit as a healer, but when she uncovers the answer to a long hidden and dark secret they call her the miracle from the mountain.
