Out NOW through Amber Quill Press and
just in time for Easter: THE SEVENTH TAKING, a young adult/suspense set in the
Blue Summit Mountains of Tennessee.
Description:
It’s summer in southeast Louisiana
and eleventh-grader Joy Vincent is complaining about everything from her dad to
the family vacation being forced upon her, but Abraham Wilson has other things
on his mind—and it’s not the mosquitoes. He plans to break up with Joy, hoping
to begin college with a clean slate. But Joy doesn’t take the news well, and
Abraham feels a tinge of guilt, yet that’s nothing compared to how he feels
days later when he learns Joy has disappeared in the Blue Summit Mountains of
Tennessee after an argument with her father. Abe begs his parents to let him
travel to the mountains and participate in the search efforts, but they will
have none of it.
Weeks later, there’s still no sign
of Joy. Authorities determine she voluntarily ran away, and they stop their
search. Beside himself with guilt, Abe finally convinces his parents to let him
go to the mountains with his friends Brett and Charlie to see for himself.
The day after their arrival, they
realize there’s much more to the story than just a girl who ran away from home,
and they also realize they’ve gotten in way over their heads. Afraid but
driven, the trio sets off on the narrow trail where Joy was last seen and soon
they find themselves fighting for their lives against man, beast, and the
majestic mountain country that can turn deadly in a split second.
Will Abe and his friends live long
enough to discover the secret behind Joy’s disappearance, or will they meet
with the same fate?
