Opis

As a four-year-old boy, Davie Adams finds his mother in the bathtub, her wrists slashed with a razor blade. Four years later, his father-a murderer several times over-sits on death row. Now eight, Davie is being raised by his aunt and uncle, Angie and Jackson Thomas. Their marriage is near collapse, the consequence of a shared heartbreak that has been left unresolved. Dreams and real-life drama interact and guide them toward remaining together as an intimate family, but if they should stray too far from the path, danger and death awaits. Will the wolf that visits Davie in his dreams devour their hope and tear the family apart, or will it lead them back to one another and the love they share? A multi-layered novel, Off the Path weaves drama, fantasy, horror, and humor to tell the story of eight-year-old Davie, his aunt and uncle, and their struggles to overcome threats to their family from within-and without. They must be very careful to not stray from the path.
