After almost a year the military releases him to his half-brother. They don't think he will ever come out of the catatonic state he is in. However, left to his half-brothers care, he suddenly realizes he will die if he doesn't escape. So When Aaron Clancy leaves him to sit in a chair alone without anyone to feed or care for him, he rises, packs a bag and leaves.

Walking and hiding from most everyone he travels from Miami to West Virginia.He has been on the road almost a year. His mind torn and shattered, he finally walks out of some woods to hear a sweet voice singing a hymn.

Ally Munroe is the 28 year old daughter of Gidion Munroe. She has a limp and has taken care of her family since she was 16 when her mother died. She has just about given up on her hopes and dreams when the tall, ragged, sad faced man walks out of the woods. At first a little afraid she still offers him food and finally offers him a place to stay. She has inherited her uncle's litte cabin hidden in the woods.

With care and warmth she reaches out to the wounded animal that Wes has become. And Wes fighting and wrestling with his own dreams, or rather nightmares, slowly begins to open the door to his feelings which have been locked up so long.

What neither see is the evil that has come to these mountains. An evil from the city, full of greed and ego. An evil they will both have to fight.

Sharon Sala has given us a novel of all the emotions. I cried, I laughed. And at the end I was humbled. Do not miss this book.
