Synopsis

Before Dan opened his door to find a wounded woman who had escaped from the tormentors in the mountain, his life had become rather quiet. He and the eight other people in the mostly abandoned town had become friends. They spent peaceful evenings around the campfire and even made vague plans to journey east one day and leave the ominous mountain behind.

But the woman's arrival changes everything. 
Who is she? How does she know so much about Dan's brother, who is still held captive in the mountain? Why are long-forgotten memories rising to the surface? And why does Dan feel so compelled to keep her presence in his house a secret?

Visionary writer Shawn Smucker is back with an unsettling story that invites us to consider two challenging questions: To what lengths will we go to assuage our own guilt? and Is there a limit to the things we will do for the people we love?

Goodreads review by Andi on January 20, 2020

This is a book I will ponder long because it tells a rich truth that I recognize but, fittingly, can’t name. A story of waiting for something to happen that could have happened long ago. A rich journey. A quiet return. Like allegory meets fairytale meets post-apocalyptic hope. Highly recommended.......more

Another compelling, thoughtful work from Shawn Smucker. Real characters with real struggles in a surreal world -- such as the one we often find ourselves in when we struggle with our failings, self-forgiveness, and redemption.......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on June 22, 2020

I have never been so drawn in by a story that left me feeling so disturbed and unsettled for most of it. I read an early copy of this book because I'll read anything Shawn Smucker writes. I was disoriented from the first page. "WHAT is happening?" I kept asking myself. And with every page I turned,......more
