The God of the Woods

When a teenager vanishes from her Adirondack summer camp, two worlds collide.

Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn't just any thirteen-year-old she's the daughter of the family that owns the camp and employs most of the local residents. And this isn't the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Her older brother vanished fourteen years earlier, never to be seen again.

As a desperate search begins, Moore masterfully unravels the secrets of the Van Laar family and the working-class community around them. Suspenseful and deeply layered, *The God of the Woods* explores memory, grief, and the shadows of the past with literary finesse. A compelling, atmospheric novel perfect for fans of slow-burn thrillers and family dramas.
