Author
A 12-year-old boys father unexpectedly collapses and dies at a party given at their home in celebration of his advancement at his firm. The boys lucid dreaming provokes a sense of guilt that he is somehow responsible for his fathers untimely passing particularly because of an earlier altercation between them. It is summer and his Uncle Joe a psychiatrist (his mothers brother) suggests they use his summer cabin up in the Poconos as a respite to escape and relax during this difficult time. To make bad matters worse this initial trauma is followed by a heinous unspeakable crime leading us to suspect additional characters in this small town setting. Along the way however even deeper secrets unveil themselves in a chain of shared lifelong secrets and denials and their ultimate consequences.
