A long-lost nephew has crossed a continent to find Ezra Whitehall—but the young man has brought more than family ties into the mountains. What follows will test blood, honor, and whether some wrongs can ever be put to rest.
Ezra Whitehall has finally carved out something close to peace. Scarred by old battles and content with the hard simplicity of his isolated mountain home, he asks little from the world beyond enough game for his table, water for his garden, and the freedom to live out his remaining years on his own terms. Then a stranger walks out of the wilderness with an unexpected claim: his name is Abraham Millard, and he is the son of Ezra’s sister.
For Ezra, Abraham’s arrival opens a door to the family he left behind decades ago. The young man carries news of home, of brothers grown old, of loved ones lost, and of a past Ezra believed had become unreachable. Yet beneath Abraham’s easy tongue and determination lies something darker. He has not told his uncle everything about the journey that brought him west—and when Ezra presses him for the truth, a troubled family reunion becomes something far more dangerous.
Abraham wants to turn east and leave the mountains behind. Ezra knows running rarely puts an end to trouble. Whatever his nephew fears may already be closer than either of them realizes, and the old mountain man is forced once again to confront the brutal code that has guided his life: walk away from trouble when you can, but when you cannot, finish what has been started.
Family has finally found Ezra Whitehall in the wilderness. Now blood ties may demand a price neither uncle nor nephew expected to pay. Cry From The Grave delivers another hard-edged Ezra Whitehall frontier tale of buried guilt, family loyalty, danger, and the unforgiving consequences of choices that refuse to stay in the past.
