Resumen del Editor

A father and daughter living in the remote Appalachian mountains must reckon with the ghosts of their past in Kimi Cunningham Grant's These Silent Woods, a mesmerizing audiobook of suspense.

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

For eight years, Cooper and his young daughter, Finch, have lived in isolation in a remote cabin in the northern Appalachian woods. And that's exactly the way Cooper wants it, because he's got a lot to hide. Finch has been raised on the books filling the cabin’s shelves and the beautiful but brutal code of life in the wilderness. But she’s starting to push back against the sheltered life Cooper has created for her - and he’s still haunted by the painful truth of what it took to get them there.

The only people who know they exist are Scotland, an overly friendly hermit with murky intentions, and Cooper's old friend, Jake, who visits each winter to bring them food and supplies. But this year, Jake doesn't show up, setting off an irreversible chain of events that reveals just how precarious their situation really is. Suddenly, the boundaries of their safe haven have blurred - and when a stranger wanders into their woods, Finch’s growing obsession with her could put them all in danger. When a shocking disappearance threatens to upend the only life Finch has ever known, Cooper is forced to decide whether to keep hiding - or finally face the sins of his past.

Vividly atmospheric and masterfully tense, These Silent Woods is a poignant story of survival, sacrifice, and how far a father will go when faced with losing it all.

"The story unwinds at a slow pace, but the denouement is dramatic, surprising, and, finally, gratifying." (AudioFile)

Heartwarming story of a father's love

Another reviewer compared this book to Where the Crawdad's Sing and I absolutely agree, if you loved that book then you'll absolutely love this novel by Kimi Cunningham Grant. Not only is it well written, but it is an incredibly moving story that is complex yet simple at the same time. The narrator's performance was also fantastic.

Beautiful story

I highly recommend reading this book. Made me think about what I would have done….

Wow

I heard this was excellent and it was. It’s a book I could not stop listening to. The narration was fascinating, as was the story. Five stars hands down!

Love. Love. Love.

This story was beautifully written with twists and turns to keep you on your toes!

Compelling

I really enjoyed this entire book. Although, I felt the story could have been carried longer. Narrator was excellent!!

A beautiful little story

Beautifully written. A simple and poignant story.

Here, then gone.

It lingers long after that final page...

I look back, and recall with fondest, these characters that Kimi introduced all of us to and that Mr. Pinchot brought to life with perfect tone, demeanor, and grace😉 that the story deserved.

A small glimpse into their world, and then the door closes.

Another book finished, and I'm a happier man for it.

Thank you, Kimi.

A parents love .. oh my heart. This was a fast read. I didn't want to put it down.

Soooo good!!

Loved it all the way to the end! What a great story. They need to make this into a movie!

Would definitely read/listen again!

Very well written and such a great ending! I would read this or listen again in a heart beat, it was visually stimulating and the narrators voice was nice as well.

Very entertaining

A little king on Act One but paints a clear picture and found myself caught up in the outcome over the last two hours with a few unexpected twists & turns.
