Book Overview

Perfect for fans of David Arnold and Jeff Zentner, this young adult novel from the author of Playlist for the Dead is an intriguing mystery about family, secrets, and how to move forward when the past keeps pulling you back.

Patrick "Pack" Walsh may not know where he's going in life, but he's happy where he is. He's got a job lined up for himself after graduation. A great girlfriend. And can't really see himself ever leaving his small town. Then, on his eighteenth birthday, a letter from his mother changes everything. Because she's dead. At least, that's what he always believed.
