by P. J. Fakoury (Author)
A crusty hermit, a vintage motorboat, and the Pocono woods hide something precious Ellie has always longed for.
Ellie Matthews doesn't know if she can cope with yet another of life's traumas. At forty, she's already managed to survive a nasty divorce and breast cancer. Now her mother's untimely death has left her orphaned and with no family. And a curious surprise in Mother's will unsettles her further -- Ellie has inherited a dilapidated lake cabin in the Poconos she never knew existed. Mother was often a mystery, a woman who kept much hidden away, including any details about the cabin or the father who abandoned Ellie at birth.
In the quiet of the Pocono woods, Ellie discovers the tragedy that two wars wrought on her family, the crazy, imprisoning power of grief, and the truth about the father she never knew.
