These Silent Woods

(Author: Kimi Cunningham Grant)

A father and daughter living hidden in the remote Appalachian mountains must reckon with the ghosts of their past in this mesmerizing, atmospheric novel of suspense, survival, and sacrifice.

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

For eight long years, Cooper and his young daughter, Finch, have lived completely off the grid in a secluded cabin deep in the northern Appalachian woods. Raising Finch on classical literature and the rugged rules of wilderness survival, Cooper has kept her safe—and hidden. Because Cooper carries a dark secret about what it took to bring them here, and staying hidden is the only way to keep Finch.

Their fragile isolation relies on a single thread: Cooper's old friend Jake, who makes an annual winter trek to deliver food and supplies. But when Jake fails to show up, their sanctuary begins to unravel. Food runs low, a curious stranger wanders onto their land, and a sudden, shocking disappearance threatens to tear their world apart.

Forced into a corner, Cooper must decide how far he is willing to go to protect his daughter—and whether he can finally face the sins of his past.

Key Highlights:

• Deeply Atmospheric Suspense: A slow-burn, masterfully tense thriller set against the beautiful yet harsh backdrop of the remote wilderness.

• Heart-Wrenching Father-Daughter Story: Explores the extreme lengths a parent will go to protect a child and the emotional costs of hidden secrets.

• Perfect for Thriller & Drama Fans: Highly recommended for readers who enjoy books like Where the Crawdads Sing, The Great Alone, and My Abandonment.
