O knihe

Chloe Barbour has reached the mountains. And she is still alive. Home is filled with a seesaw of emotions as a young professional twists in the winds of chance. Her well-laid plans and the dreams for her life have all crumbled when she discovers a discrepancy in her company's financial records. When the justice system doesn't protect her, fleeing for her life is her only option. Hiding becomes a way of life for the woman in her mid-twenties. She feels completely alone as she travels across multiple states seeking a safe place to begin a new life. Clunker cars, cheap motels, and frequent fearful glances in rearview mirrors become her new normal. Underneath the ever-present fear and constant loneliness is Chloe's belief that she has been thrust into a spiraling funnel from which there is no escape. At her lowest point, she discovers Brewster, a small mountain town that may provide a respite from her danger-ridden past. But strange folded notes, threatening phone calls, shadows near the woods, and unwanted visitors threaten the fragile peace of a new place. However, an emerging group of potential friends and a new job with a local contractor give Chloe hope that possibly, just possibly, someone does care about her. Readers will travel back roads and through small communities with Chloe as she leaves a carefully planned city life and moves from fear to trust, panic to calmness, loneliness to friendship, the past to the future, and confusion to inner peace.
