About this listen

Owen Foster has never wanted for anything. Then his mother shows up at his elite New Orleans boarding school cradling a bombshell: his privileged life has been funded by stolen money. After using the family business, the single largest employer in his small Louisiana town, to embezzle millions and drain the employees' retirement accounts, Owen's father vanished without a trace, leaving Owen and his mother to deal with the fallout.

Owen returns to Lake Cane to finish his senior year, where people he hardly remembers despise him for his father's crimes. It's bad enough dealing with muttered insults and glares, but when Owen and his mother receive increasingly frightening threats from someone out for revenge, he knows he must get to the bottom of what really happened at Louisiana Frac....and the cryptic note his father sent him at his boarding school days before disappearing.

Owen's only refuge is the sprawling, isolated pecan orchard he works at after school, owned by a man named Gus who has his own secrets - and in some ways seems to know Owen better than he knows himself. As Owen uncovers a terrible injustice that looms over the same Preacher Woods he's claimed as his own, he must face a shocking truth about his own past - and write a better future.

Good enough plotting to hold your attention. Solid narration. In truth, in a master writer’s hands it could have been a superb short story with a big twist at the end. But as is, ok if you are not too impatient like me and about half way through -just jump to the last several chapters (with nothing lost) to wrap things up.

A fun listen

I cannot say say enough great things about this book and the narrators! A bad narrator can send me looking for another book, no matter the storyline! This book was amazing I truly didn’t guess the ending, and I usually do! 😉. Great book well worth the time!!

You won’t be disappointed!$
