As summer begins in Black Creek Falls, Maggie seeks the truth of a family-shattering event. Aided by her friend, Luke, a Vietnam vet, they mend their troubled pasts and find love.

In her second novel, Carol Ohmart Behan explores the elusive mysteries of our connections to one another and the places we call home.

"We both just sort of washed back up on the banks of Black Creek Falls," was how Luke described it to Maggie.

His time away was in the jungles of Vietnam... hers was spent in Pittsburg escaping a family-shattering event. She'd wound up coming home to help her father, and six years later, was still only waiting tables at the Creekside Diner. But the past will not stay quiet for either of them. As another summer beings, Maggie must summon the courage to discover the truth of what happened all those years ago. She finds herself drawn to Luke as they become allies in mending their separate lives. Given all she learns, can she risk responding to the spark rekindling between them?

Carol Ohmart Behan is a write, labyrinth facilitator, and environmental activist. She offers workshops that cultivate and explore the creative spirit through writing, spiritual questing, and following the labyrinth's gently winding path. She makes her home in the Unadilla Valley of Upstate New York.
