Story Behind The Book
I was a new kid almost every single year I was in school, so getting used to a new school, new friends and especially a new community was something I took in stride. Yet each time, there were small odd things that stayed with me. Our short time on Parson's Creek Road was full of odd little moments, some of which made their way into this book, rewritten to carry the story of a deep mystery, carefully hidden by a small town.
