Billy Charbonneau, a charismatic young homeless man, flees Seattle for the rugged Cascade Mountains, accused of a crime he didn’t commit. He becomes stranded with Walt McCullough and Eleanor Sakamura, a conflictual yuppie couple who’ve come to the mountains for one last try at rekindling their relationship. These three, along with Max, a disfigured but plucky Cairn Terrier who’s adopted Billy, must share resources and work together to survive–or perish. Their struggles are complicated by a serious injury, an early snowfall, and an emerging love triangle. Are the ghostly bagpipes they hear in the night intent on leading them to safety–or into deeper peril? And could the enigmatic young woman who keeps appearing in Billy’s dreams hold the key to his future? Free on Kindle.
