There's Nothing Darker Than the Woods Until You Meet Your Worst Fear.
Jackson Bower has much on his mind lately. His younger brother hasn't been the same since his mother's death. His father's drinking is out of control. Then there's his girlfriend and the grief that ties them together even as it threatens to drive them apart. He distances himself, hoping for a little perspective at the family lodge. But when his father gets drunk and dangerous, he and his brother Artie escape into the woods.
Night creeps in, and the rains come fast. Artie slips down a ravine. Wounded, Artie and Jackson seek shelter in a cave, only to find someone else already taking refuge there-a desperate man with plans to destroy their town. Jackson and his wounded brother must get out of the cave and make it over the mountain in time to warn everyone, without getting them both killed.
The rural setting's rich insights and smells grow ever darker as the characters come to life in this poignant tale. A coming of age story reveals the bonds between family & friends as the mystery unfolds. This little book is filled with emotion, hope, despair, and suspense.
Originally published with Leap Books in 2016.
