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?
