- Dual timelines unlock fractured family secrets
- Adirondack wilderness = atmospheric character itself
- Class divides fuel simmering moral fury
- Women reclaim agency from patriarchal ruin
Whitaker made you ache for broken people in broken towns—Moore delivers that same bruised intimacy, transplanting it to the shadowed Adirondacks where privilege rots from within and every character carries scars too deep to confess. Her dual timelines don't just tease; they excavate, peeling back decades of silences until family secrets bleed into the wilderness itself, raw and relentless.
The pacing? That slow-burn dread you craved, tension coiling through grief and class fury. Moore's prose cuts like Whitaker's—poetic, unflinching, utterly uninterested in comfort.
If you need another story where moral ambiguity feels more honest than redemption, this is it.
What Readers Are Saying
"Just finished reading, and I loved it! I worked at a bible camp when I was younger, and that was very different, but the nostalgia of being in the woods in the summer was great. My heart broke for Alice and Vic and TJ and poor Bear, but I was so invested in the story." — reddit
"Moore didn't just write a novel that takes place in the 1970s, she transports her reader to this time and place. The setting is lush and vibrant, especially in the scenes in the woods surrounding Camp Emerson. This novel is exquisitely written and emotionally impactful…" — Meredith (Trying to catch up!), Goodreads
"A mystery at a summer camp was exactly what I needed to finish out my summer reading." — Brady Lockerby, Goodreads
