Patrick “Pack” Walsh may not know where he’s going in life,
but he’s happy where he is.
He’s got a job lined up for himself after
graduation. A great girlfriend. And can’t really see himself ever leaving his
small town. Then, on his eighteenth birthday, a letter from his mother changes
everything. Because she’s dead. At least, that’s what he always believed.
As Pack begins a journey to uncover the truth about the
parents he thought he knew, the family he didn’t know he had, and the future he
never realized he wanted, he starts to have a whole different understanding of
his life—and where he wants to go from here.
