Alicen McAffery finally has the life her mother always dreamed for her: a beautiful home in Santa Monica, a successful husband, and an adorable daughter. Then tragedy blows her carefully assembled facade to pieces. Worse yet - Alicen feels solely responsible.

At rock bottom, she decides to accompany a childhood friend back to Red Lodge, Montana, where they spent summers together as kids.The peaceful mountain landscape, accented with lush forests and small-town charm, brings back happy memories of time spent with her beloved, eccentric Grandma Josephine. Alicen begins to hope that perhaps things could be different here. Perhaps the oppressive guilt will lift - if only for a moment.

But when Alicen starts hearing voices and seeing mysterious figures near the river in the woods, she begins to fear she's completely lost her sanity, as it's rumored her grandmother did. Or might there be more to Red Lodge than meets the eye? Could the voices and visions be real - and her only means of finding the healing she so desperately needs? Or will they prove to be her final undoing?

I can honestly say that I enjoyed this book and as an avid reader of psychological thrillers, this had a very different tone and angle than what I am used to. It truly had me trying to figure things out, but I was wondering right to the end! It was interesting and refreshing! I enjoy Ted Dekker but now I look forward to more from this author as well!!!

Thoroughly Enjoyable!!!

The author is a good writer, but the content was a bit off putting for me. I didn’t like the take on mental illness. Seeking help for mental things is important, and I didn’t feel like there was value put on that in the book.

Good writer but didn’t agree with the content

The story started out so strong! Then got so weird…so fast. The narrator did well, but I was happy when the story ended.

Had potential

honestly this book was a major struggle to get through, there was a lot of repeating in the dialogue and a lot of the same scenarios just described in different ways, they didn't add anything to the story. I did like the characters in themselves, especially how the best friends mom was portrayed as it felt familiar and she was very likeable. The narrator was good.
For anyone who's watched Friends, there's an episode were Joey is going to marry Monica and Chandler and he is showing them the speech he's been writing "to have and to hold, to hold and to have, having and holding...ect" just a lot of words put together that kinda sound like they could mean something if you really tried but overall is just a bunch of nonsense... that was this book. Sorry, but this totally missed the mark.

I couldn't finish listening to this one. I skipped most chapters, and the exact same thing was happening over and over.
I jumped back into the last chapter...it was so cringey I couldn't finish it.

So cringey
