Power & Way

By Paul Locander

"Richly drawn and deeply human"-an award-winning story of fathers, sons, and the secrets that wreck them.

Some wounds don't heal. They just get passed down.

When a deadly train derailment rocks the small Appalachian town of Granite Point, it tears open a fault line between a father and son that's been building for decades. Frank Campbell has spent a lifetime swallowing his failures. Now he's the prime suspect in a disaster that's shattered everything he knows. His son Kevin-a union man with principles Frank never respected-faces the hardest choice of his life: stand by his father, or stand by the truth. Then federal investigator Andy Mayland arrives. Sharp, relentless, and carrying wounds of her own, Andy digs into the wreckage and uncovers a web of secrets that could exonerate Frank-or bury him for good. And the undeniable pull growing between her and Kevin threatens to cost him everything else he has left.

Power & Way is an award-winning, gripping drama of loyalty, legacy, and the wreckage left behind when men refuse to say what they mean-until it's almost too late.

If you were moved by Ordinary People, drawn into A River Runs Through It, or captivated by Coal Miner's Daughter-this is your next great read.

An Appalachian story for anyone who has ever loved someone they couldn't reach.
