Description:

In the Shadow of the Appalachian hills, where the Ohio River carves a restless path through mist and memory, lies Blackthorn Hollow - a town as stubborn as the coal veins that once fed it. Here, the air carries the weight of secrets, whispered in the creak of old porches and the hum of cicadas after dusk. The year is 1986, and the world beyond these valleys feels distant, its progress stalled at the edge of rusted bridges and sagging power lines. For Ellie Harper, a young wife of twenty-eight, Blackthorn Hollow was home, its rhythms as familiar as the stitches she sewed into every hem. She and her husband, Tom, built a quiet life here, their love a steady flame against the town’s creeping decay. But on a cold autumn night, that flame is snuffed out-Tom is murdered, his body left by the river’s edge, and the town’s facade of kinship begins to crack. What follows is Ellie’s story: a tale of grief sharpened into resolve, of a woman who refuses to bend under the weight of loss or schemes of those who underestimated her. In Blackthorn Hollow, truth is a dangerous quarry, but Ellies Harper will unearth it, no matter the cost.
