Heartbreaking and heart-stealing, this modern-day fable is an unforgettable novel about sorrow, joy, friendship and love.

It is early. A young man stands on a bridge and  lets out a heart-wrenching scream. From deep in  the woods, something screams back.

It sounds improbable. But this is how Isaac meets the egg.

The two are unlikely companions. But their chance  encounter will transform Isaac's life in ways he  cannot yet imagine.

Maybe he will finally understand why he went there  that morning. Maybe he will find a way to tell the truth.

Sometimes, to get out of the woods,  you have to go into them.
