WHEN SOMEONE THRUSTS HIS OBSESSION ON YOU LIKE ONE END OF A LOG TO CARRY, SURVIVAL BECOMES ... EVERYTHING. When weekly editor William Benjamin begins investigating a cunning plot between local officials, he uncovers a trail of danger and deceit but fails to see the darkness spawning within his own home. As the town closes ranks and the threats escalate, William's children watch their father slip deeper into a darkness none of them is willing to name. Equal parts literary drama and psychological mystery, this is a story of growing up in the blast radius of obsession - and the courage required to escape its reach. Told with piercing insight and unforgettable tenderness, The Watchman's Children reveals what it means to grow up in the shadow of a troubled hero, and how love endures even when trust does not.
