And that's exactly the way Cooper wants it, because he's got a lot to hide. Finch has been raised on the books filling the cabin's shelves and the beautiful but brutal code of life in the wilderness. But she's starting to push back against the sheltered life Cooper has created for her--and he's still haunted by the painful truth of what it took to get them there. <p/>The only people who know they exist are a mysterious local hermit named Scotland, and Cooper's old friend, Jake, who visits each winter to bring them food and supplies. But this year, Jake doesn't show up, setting off an irreversible chain of events that reveals just how precarious their situation really is. Suddenly, the boundaries of their safe haven have blurred--and when a stranger wanders into their woods, Finch's growing obsession with her could put them all in danger. After a shocking disappearance threatens to upend the only life Finch has ever known, Cooper is forced to decide whether to keep hiding--or finally face the sins of his past. <p/>Vividly atmospheric and masterfully tense, <i>These Silent Woods</i> is a poignant story of survival, sacrifice, and how far a father will go when faced with losing it all.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b><i>People</i> Magazine's Best New Books November 2021<br></b><b>One of the Biggest Mysteries and Thrillers for 2021--<i>Goodreads</i><br>One of the Best New Books to Read --<i>New York Post</i></b><br><b>One of the Best New Books of October 2021</b>--<b><i>PopSugar.com</i></b><b><br>One of the 20 Fall and Winter Releases to Have on Your Radar</b>--<b><i>Bookish.com<br></i>One of the October Mysteries & Thrillers to Know--<i>Bookriot.com</i></b><br><b>One of the </b><b>"26 Best New Books for This Fall"</b><b>--<i>Country Living</i><br>One of the Outstanding Thriller Book Releases 2021--<i>TheNerdDaily.com</i></b><br><b>One of the Latest Mysteries, Debuts, Holiday Tales and Reimaginings from Down South </b><b>--<i>Deep South </i>Magazine<br></b> <br>A secretive Army vet and his precocious daughter have lived eight years in the Appalachian wilderness--until a mysterious stranger intrudes. --<b><i>People </i>Magazine</b> <p/>"Your next must read." -<b><i>Country Living <p/></i></b>"If you want suspense, atmospheric, a remote setting, and a character-driven narrative with an ending you'll be thinking about long after finishing, this is absolutely your next read." -<b><i>Book Riot</i></b> <p/>"[A] multilayered work of suspense...Grant anchors the novel with penetrating creativity and striking originality, augmented by enduringly memorable characters and precise, occasionally lyrical prose.
