Description
In this haunting and luminescent debut novel, a girl's complicated family life starts to unravel after she finds herself falling for a mysterious boy who lives in the forest behind her house.
Leah Roberts's life hasn't been the same since her brother died ten years ago. Her mother won't stop drinking, her father can't let go of his bitter anger, and Leah herself has a secret she's told no one: Sasquatches are real, and she's been watching a trio of them in the woods behind her house for years.
Everything changes when Leah discovers that among the sasquatches lives a teenager. This alluring, enigmatic boy has no memory of his past and can barely speak, but Leah can't shake his magnetic pull. Gradually, Leah's life entwines with his, providing her the escape from reality she never knew she needed.
But when Leah's two worlds suddenly collide in a deadly showdown, she uncovers a shocking truth as big and extraordinary as the legends themselves, one that could change her life forever.
