Description
In the sweltering summer heat of Lily, Arkansas, seventeen-year-old Cullen grapples with a season of profound loss and unsettling mystery. The recent death of his cousin by overdose casts a long shadow, while whispers of a legendary, thought-to-be-extinct woodpecker stir a strange hope. Amidst the backdrop of burgeoning, complicated romances and the crushing weight of grief, Cullen's world is irrevocably shattered when his younger brother vanishes without a trace. This poignant coming-of-age story delves into themes of grief, faith, and the search for meaning in the face of devastating uncertainty.
