These Silent Woods

No electricity, no family, no connection to the outside world.

For eight years Cooper and his young daughter, Finch, have lived in isolation in a remote cabin in the northern Appalachian woods. 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.

"A multilayered work of suspense ... At once heartbreaking and harrowing, redemptive and riveting." - The Free Lance-Star

The only people who know they exist are a mysterious local hermit and Cooper's old friend Jake, who visits each winter to bring them supplies. But this year Jake doesn't show up, revealing just how precarious their situation really is. 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 must decide whether to keep hiding - or finally face the sins of his past.

Vividly atmospheric and masterfully tense, These Silent Woods is a poignant story of survival, sacrifice, and how far a father will go when faced with losing it all.
