Reverend Richard Coles: "Heartbreaking and heart-stealing, this modern-day fable is an unforgettable novel about sorrow, joy, friendship, and love."





It is early. A young man stands on a bridge and lets out a heart-wrenching scream. From deep in the woods, something screams back.




It sounds improbable. But this is how Isaac meets the egg.




The two are unlikely companions. But their chance encounter will transform Isaac's life in ways he cannot yet imagine.




Maybe he will finally understand why he went there that morning. Maybe he will find a way to tell the truth.


Sometimes, to get out of the woods, you have to go into them.
