In Parched Gardens: Book 2

In the first book, Fin spent the summer moving home to the small town he grew up in, Allbrook, a quaint village in the American northeast. In that summer he grappled with past traumas, the struggles of moving back home, trying to work up the courage to talk more to a girl he's interested in, and something much, much darker. Now, in the fall, Fin will continue to try to move on from the shadows of his past and the shadows that lurk around his home and around his village. Other people in the town such as his best friend Isaac, the local pharmacist Maria, and one of the librarians at the city library named Natalie are beginning to grapple with shadows of their own.
