"Cumbo offers readers a twisty psychological drama of loss, redemption, and trust...the novel will have readers on the edges of their seats... A moving, slow-burn thriller..."

"Paul Cumbo has written a masterpiece that will grab you and hit you hard. This novel is about much more than 'wilderness therapy.' It's a great story, masterfully told."

"Powerful storytelling coupled with a spot-on portrayal of the teenage psyche. Cumbo's intricate, realistic characters, and the demons with which they wrestle, invite readers into the complex and often misunderstood emotional landscape of male adolescence."

"At a time of growing concern about the current generation of young males, this message from the trenches is affirming and inspiring."
