DARK RIVERS TO CROSS by Lynne Reeves - Spotlight & Giveaway

In DARK RIVERS TO CROSS, Lynne Reeves draws on three decades of expertise as an internationally recognized school and family counselor to write this thriller that explores long-buried family secrets and the deadly reckoning that follows their explosive reveal.

For two decades, Lena Blackwell has kept her sons at her side, teaching them everything she knows about running their successful river lodge in Northern Maine. But what she really wants is to keep her boys in the dark about their tragic past.

Her son Luke is right where he belongs, working at the family inn sheltered by acres of pine forest that stretch along the Penobscot River. So when his adopted brother, Jonah, threatens to upend their peaceful life by searching for his biological parents, Luke refuses to help.

Lena is determined to stop Jonah’s search to uncover his own history. But the unexpected arrival of old friends at the inn for a weekend throws her plans into disarray. Little does she know, Jonah has already learned enough of the backstory to set in motion a deadly reckoning.

Luke may not want to know anything about his family, but he’s caught between the hard truths his brother is determined to expose and the devastating secret his mother is desperate to keep.

Dark Rivers to Cross sensitively explores inherited trauma and the stories we tell the ones we love. It’s about what one mother is willing to sacrifice for her children.
