In the Pines

In the Pines
Literary Fiction: Historical Mystery

A death sends a girl on the run through the Appalachian Mountains leaving her story as little more than a folksong…until now.

Laurel was always a bit different from the other girls in her small mountain town, but life was simple until the head of a beloved is discovered by the tracks with no body to be found causing fingers to point and Laurel’s feet to flee.

Forced to survive the untamed mountains alone, she must dig up the messy truth before the elements rip away what little time she has left.

Is that the wind whipping through the pines? Or a scream?
