I Will Tell The Night

By Kevin Thomas Craig

Finn Barker escaped his family in Miramichi, New Brunswick, decades ago for the anonymity of Toronto. When he learns of his mother's impending demise, he decides to make the trip back home to say goodbye. But going back will awaken all the sleeping ghosts Finn's not quite sure he's willing to stir. With no time to decide, his split-second decision to jump back in has him driving across the country, with his boyfriend Steven behind the wheel. Along the way, Finn begins to unpack the mess he left behind. There's the grandmother, MyImogene, he adored, and the twin brother who died of cancer when his own parents would have preferred to lose the other twin. There's also the huge scandal Finn orchestrated with a teacher that gave him the Dutch courage he needed to flee. It was almost all bad.

Finn makes it in time for goodbyes, but then there's the still very active strife between him and his father, the funeral, the family, and the secrets that shed new light on the cause of the rift between his parents and his beloved MyImogene. Every family carries secrets. Finn discovers they're the one thing you can't escape, no matter how far away you run. Secrets always catch up. Often, it's death that has a way of bringing them back into the light of day. He was able to make peace with his dying mother, but can Finn make peace with all the rest...or is it time to run away for another thirty years?
