Each holds secrets that could destroy their makeshift family. And, on their adrenaline-charged journey of self-discovery, one of them must pay the price. With the poignant and powerful storytelling voice that made "Whistling Past the Graveyard" "a classic, a book people want to pass along for generations to come" ("Feathered Quill Book Reviews"), Susan Crandall artfully weaves the stories of three unforgettable characters, each searching for salvation that waits just beyond the horizon.
