The wilderness shows no mercy.

On a journey to nowhere, an escape from the past, four travelers must confront the harsh realities of their chosen path. The terrain is treacherous; the supplies are low. But turning back isn’t an option. Only death is behind.

Someone is following.

Others have tried this route. Many have gone; none have returned. Their only salvation, their only hope, lies at the end. But the end of the journey is not what it seems. Nothing is.

From the Author

I wrote this book in the time period after my grandpa died and while I was graduating high school. A lot of my own journey and searching was imbued into this short work. You will find it thoughtful, deep, and most of all lasting.I hope you find your way out.

Home was a surprise. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it was not what I got. Be that as it may it was an amazing read. The book is left in a way so you can create your own theories on most things, nothing is definite.

The characters in this book just work. That’s the simplest way to put it. You can feel the love, the sadness, and yes even the hate. I don’t know the relation of said characters, because as I stated most of the book is left to make your own conclusions, but I do believe these people consider each other a family of sorts.

The setting within this story is harsh. Reading through it I was cringing at the unfortunate situations the character found themselves in, and it was largely do to the setting. The descriptions were wonderful but left room for your own interpretation.

The deeper meaning that this story represents is there. Reading the “From the Author”, it is stated that this was written shortly after a family members passing. Reading it with that in mind opens up so many more possibilities of the meaning between the characters, the journey, and mostly the ending. It was beautifully done in everyway.

It kept you guessing and on the edge the entire time. After the story finished it left you wanting more. At the very least I may re-read it a few times to put the pieces together more.

I gave this book 5 Stars!!

This book was well written, the characters made sense, and the setting was well placed. The Meaning behind the story will be different for most people who read it, I think. With that being said I have finished this book over 24 hours ago and it is still weighing on my mind, and that’s how you know it was a wonderful book.

Fantastic Job David Kummer!!
