Facing the Strange
Bill Collins has spent a lifetime learning that some secrets refuse to stay buried.
Now retired from Raincrest Cellars and trying to make peace with choices that still follow him, Bill finds unexpected purpose in the simple things-a grandson named William, a fishing rod, and Saturdays that ask nothing of him but to show up.
Hundreds of miles away in Ten Sleep, Wyoming, former sheriff Howard Truman is wrestling with ghosts of his own. When the disappearance of a native woman draws him toward the Wind River Reservation, a cold trail leads him to Elena White Horse, an attorney who has spent much of her life protecting abused women-and carrying secrets she has never shared.
As Truman searches for a woman who vanished without answers, the investigation begins connecting lives that should have remained strangers.
And somewhere between an Oregon vineyard, a Wyoming river, and a spring break in Coeur d'Alene nearly fifty years earlier, the past begins asking questions none of them expected to answer.
For Bill, redemption may mean finally facing what he has done.
For Truman, it may mean proving what he can still do.
For Elena, it may mean deciding whether some secrets have been carried long enough.
And for a six-year-old boy named William, the future is considerably simpler.
There are still fish to catch.
Some mysteries are about finding the missing.
Others are about discovering what was there all along.
