| Summary: | Left partially deaf by an early childhood tragedy that ended in her father's incarceration, seventeen-year-old Owl is now a tracker, an explorer, a wildlife enthusiast,<U+00A0>and<U+00A0>always her freest self while hiking the steep forested acres surrounding her aunt and uncle's maple sugar farm, now her home.<U+00A0>Owl and her aunt and uncle<U+00A0>never speak of the brutal attack<U+00A0>that brought her to them.<U+00A0>On the day she confronts a stranger trespassing among the maples, Owl's sheltered existence is blown wide open by Cody-the magnetic, dangerous young man<U+00A0>hired to help with the sugaring off. Cody seems to see<U+00A0>her, the<U+00A0>real<U+00A0>her, in a way no one else does. Together, they challenge each other, learn to question their preconceptions, and risk a romance their families are desperate to stop.<U+00A0>But when Owl learns that some part of Cody is compelled toward self-destruction, she must make a difficult decision about their relationship at the same time she's grappling with her father's recent release from prison. And when a seemingly motiveless local murder draws attention to Cody, Owl realizes that Cody is<U+00A0>in far more serious trouble than anyone knows-and it's followed him to her mountain. |
