Down Home - Clark Steve L

What secrets wait on the mountain?

The day she turned eighteen, Paula Tompkins fled her home in the Appalachian Mountains of Eastern Kentucky, leaving behind a life of tragedy and neglect. Determined to make it on her own, she starts a new life in Ohio and buries the memories of her past.

Ten years later, the death of her aunt Candace calls her back to the mountain. What was intended to be a down and back trip to pay her respects becomes an overnight stay when she rekindles old family friendships with her uncle and cousin. A late-night stroll through the woods reveals there are more than bad memories waiting for Paula on the mountain.

Something knows she's come back, and this time it doesn't want her to leave.
