For fans of Paulette Jiles, Charles Frazier, William Kent Krueger, and Larry McMurtry, this is a fast-paced adventure story with depth.
Darker Than the Sky is a story of ordinary people who struggle with loss and regret and wish they could change the past.
Against the backdrop of the majestic Big Sur wilderness, Van Weathers and his teenage son embark on a journey that redefines their relationship and risks everything.
Van has lost so much in his life. Each time, he finds a way to rebuild with support from the people around him. But does his happiness tempt fate? Is another disaster coming?
At once a warmhearted coming of age story and an adventure in the mountains, Darker Than the Sky balances a fast-moving plot with emotions, reflection, and hope.

Matt Tracy - When I'm not hiking in the hills with my wife and dogs, I like to read. I usually read a couple of books a week, in all genres. A good novel with great characters is my favorite choice, but I love non-fiction, science fiction, romance, detective stories, biographies, and of course, self-help books.
