Heaven's Ashes
Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
It's August in rural Shenandoah County, Virginia, and the air tastes like boiled wool under the relentless southern sun. Things are quiet until a devastating medical diagnosis hits the Howard family. John barely has time to absorb the news and plan his future before the situation goes from bad to tragic. Someone else knows about the letter and will do anything to get their hands on it.
Tensions are rising along with the body count, and law enforcement seems helpless to stop the killing. When John's and his daughter's lives are directly threatened, he realizes it's time to take matters into his own hands before it's too late.
The final confrontation on the summit of Look Back Mountain leaves John feeling shaken and betrayed. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between a friend and enemy, but it's never hard to choose family first.
