Book: All the Hidden Pieces
Synopsis: Welcome back Dana Ridenour, distinguished retired FBI agent and celebrated author, formerly of Murrells Inlet and now based in Beaufort, South Carolina. Known for her gripping FBI undercover novels, she has captivated readers with titles such as Behind The Mask, Beyond The Cabin, and Below The Radar. Her latest work, "All the Hidden Pieces," has just received a rave review from Reader's Favorites. When Julia Chandler's husband dies in a late-night car crash, grief and betrayal drive her to do something impulsive: hike all 2,190 miles of the Appalachian Trail. Joined by three of her oldest friends, each carrying secrets of their own, Julia sets out to rediscover herself. What begins as an escape soon becomes a test of endurance, courage, and trust. As the friends tackle brutal climbs, raging storms, and dangerous wildlife encounters, they begin to shed the layers of guilt, fear, and regret that have long defined them. But when a heart-stopping accident occurs on the trail, their strength and courage are pushed to the next level. From Georgia to Maine, each mile strips away secrets and forces them to face the truths they've buried for years. An emotional, heart-pounding story about the unbreakable bonds that carry us through life’s roughest miles and the transformative power of nature. All the Hidden Pieces is a heartfelt story about friendship, resilience, and the power of starting over. A perfect choice for book clubs, it invites readers to reflect on the hidden pieces we all carry and the beauty of finding wholeness again.
