<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Dan escaped captivity from the mountain long ago, but believes his brother is still there and waits each day in a nearby town for his escape. What Dan doesn't realize is that the rest of the townspeople are also waiting--but for reasons he never imagined.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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.<br/><br/>But the woman's arrival changes everything. <br/>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?<br/><br/>Visionary writer Shawn Smucker is back with an unsettling story that invites us to consider two challenging questions: <i>To what lengths will we go to assuage our own guilt? </i>and <i>Is there a limit to the things we will do for the people we love?</i><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"Powerful, startling. . . . This book is a wonder."--<b>Susie Finkbeiner</b>, author of <i>Stories That Bind Us</i> and <i>All Manner of Things</i><br/><br/>"Ultimately a survival story--how we survive the evils we have both committed and omitted on our terrible and beautiful journey home."--<b>John Blase</b>, poet and author<br/><br/>"A poetic, heartfelt meditation on guilt, grief, grace, and forgiveness, reminiscent of both Dante's<i> Inferno </i>and <i>Lost</i>."--<b>Anne Bogel</b>, creator of <i>Modern Mrs Darcy</i> and the <i>What Should I Read Next?</i> podcast<br/><br/>"Beauty and melancholy and hope and weight woven together. Not to be missed."--<b>Andi Cumbo-Floyd</b>, author of the Steele Secrets series<br/><br/>***<br/><br/>Once held captive and tortured on a mysterious mountain, Dan was lucky to have made it out alive. But freedom comes at a cost. Left with little memory of the horrific ordeal, Dan can recall one thing--his escape meant leaving his brother behind.<br/><br/>With each day that passes, Dan waits with the other survivors in hope of his brother's escape. But just as long-forgotten memories start rising to the surface, the sudden appearance of a wounded woman throws everything into question. As Dan struggles to know who to trust, he is caught once again in a paralyzing moral dilemma: <br/><br/>How far will he go to save the people he loves? <br/><br/><b><br/>Shawn Smucker</b> is the award-winning author of <i>Light from Distant Stars</i>, the young adult novels <i>The Day the Angels Fell</i> and <i>The Edge of Over There</i>, and the memoir <i>Once We Were Strangers</i>.
