LOOKOUT
1956. Kootenai National Forest, Montana. When smokejumper Nathan Garrett perishes in a raging wildfire, his surviving family’s hopes and happiness turn to ashes.
Now, one year following Nathan’s death, wife, and mother of two, Jolene Garrett, takes her crumbling family to the Morning Star lookout seeking solace through closure–to scatter her husband’s remains. But something far beyond the reach of their wildest imaginings awaits the Garrett family in the Montana wilderness–something more powerful than their anguish and torment. Something that transcends space and time. No telephones. No electricity. No transportation. No escape.
All has gone up in flames–the Garret family’s burial of their father Nathan, Jolene’s plans for closure and a fresh start for her children Charlie and Marabeth, and now even the Morning Star lookout tower burns! Haunted and stalked through the Kootenai Forest by memories of her past and delirious visions of her missing family, Jolene’s torment has exploded beyond the bounds of reason and so too has her quest to find her missing children. But something far beyond her wildest imaginings reaches out to Jolene to pull her back from the edge of madness. Something that transcends space and time. No telephones. No electricity. No transportation. No escape.
