She and her family hope to expand their operation, but times are tough and making ends meet is more expensive than she imagined, much less trying to grow.

Ellen's oldest son discovers an injured dog-and the dog leads him to a man barely clinging to life, the apparent victim of a brutal home invasion. Then, Ellen's younger kids go to check on a nearby neighbor and walk into a threat none of them saw coming.Before anyone can figure out what's really going on in their idyllic rural valley, the storm picks up again in intensity, and the McKenna kids find themselves in over their heads with no way to call for help. To protect her farm—and her family-Ellen must face down all the forces trying to tear them apart.Allison Brennan's talent for twisty, tense pacing combines with a deeply drawn family drama and the unforgiving power of nature in this compelling standalone thriller.
