About this listen

A father and daughter living in the remote Appalachian mountains must reckon with the ghosts of their past in Kimi Cunningham Grant's These Silent Woods, a mesmerizing audiobook of suspense.

No electricity, no family, no connection to the outside world.

For eight years, Cooper and his young daughter, Finch, have lived in isolation in a remote cabin in the northern Appalachian woods. And that's exactly the way Cooper wants it, because he's got a lot to hide. Finch has been raised on the books filling the cabin’s shelves and the beautiful but brutal code of life in the wilderness. But she’s starting to push back against the sheltered life Cooper has created for her - and he’s still haunted by the painful truth of what it took to get them there.

The only people who know they exist are Scotland, an overly friendly hermit with murky intentions, and Cooper's old friend, Jake, who visits each winter to bring them food and supplies. But this year, Jake doesn't show up, setting off an irreversible chain of events that reveals just how precarious their situation really is. Suddenly, the boundaries of their safe haven have blurred - and when a stranger wanders into their woods, Finch’s growing obsession with her could put them all in danger. When a shocking disappearance threatens to upend the only life Finch has ever known, Cooper is forced to decide whether to keep hiding - or finally face the sins of his past.

Vividly atmospheric and masterfully tense, These Silent Woods is a poignant story of survival, sacrifice, and how far a father will go when faced with losing it all.

"The story unwinds at a slow pace, but the denouement is dramatic, surprising, and, finally, gratifying." (AudioFile)

Another great book!

Don’t get me wrong, this is a beautifully written book but it should not be labeled as a thriller or suspenseful. It is more a coming to age story and I do highly recommend it. Just don’t go into waiting for the typical thriller plots to surface (like I did) because they don’t.

Beautiful but not a thriller

What a beautiful story! What a well written book! Very down to earth spirited... a work of true agape love. I will read this book again!

Kimi Cunningham Grant writes about trauma and it's aftermath in straightforward language, with no attempts to dramatize or elicit sympathy. Her writing is as beautiful as the Great Smoky Mountains where the story is played out. The characters, though colorful, are believable. They aren't perfect but their choices are understandable.

I've read other novels set in similar circumstances, but they were doom and gloom, hardship stories. I recall one story that referred to an isolated, hardworking background as child abuse. Not so in this story. In fact, once grown, the daughter says she would not have traded her upbringing for the alternate life her father "stole" her away from.

I was surprised when I read the author's note to this book, that the author is quite religious. While this book is deeply spiritual, the main character is not so sure he believes in God. It is definitely not in the "Christian Fiction" genre.

I did not.care for the narration. The narrator read in a soft voice, slowly, perhaps in an effort to sound gentle and kind, as it was written in the voice of the main character. I found it just a tad creepy, but that could just be me. I didn't care for it, but I did listen to many parts of the book because I didn't want to put it down!

I don't know how to say much more without creating spoilers, and I hope I haven't created any by what I've written so.far.

I highly recommend this book. As I stated, I will read it again.

Oh. My. Goodness!!

Amazing story

I like this story and I like the reader he has a nice voice. However, the story seems to drag a little bit and could possibly have used a little bit more description. The ending was fantastic!

Great Ending!
