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 thwart Jonah's search to uncover his own history. But the unexpected arrival of old friends looking for a weekend off the grid at the inn throws her plans into disarray. Little does she know, Jonah has already gleaned enough information 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-at any cost. 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.
