The Stories Stars Tell

Maxwell Wallace has spent most of her vagabond life moving from fixer-upper to fixer-upper with her dad, Cal, and though she loves her dad, she's ready to move onto the next thing-college-to find her own version of home without him. Given that her whole life has been transient and temporary, when she meets Griffin Nichols, she figures it will be another relationship that shifts like the tumbleweeds on a breeze, here one moment and gone the next. Except, even as she leaves for college and the next phase of her life, she can't shake her feelings for Griffin and what she's leaving behind. Max begins to question everything she believes about herself as someone who stays, and what the idea of home really means.

A Companion to In the Echo of this Ghost Town

When the Echo Answers

After getting in a fight with his best friends from high school-his bros-shortly after graduation, Griffin Nichols is faced with a reality he'd never imagined. He's alone. In his version of manhood, he figures he needs to stash his feelings and pack them away among the ruins like dusty remnants. His job is to keep solitary watch, keep trudging through the dust, and keep protecting his jailed heart. Then he meets Maxwell Wallace, and she challenges everything he's ever believed about what it means to be a man, flinging the jail door wide open. But is Griffin ready to face those feelings when they are too heavy to carry alone and he thinks it's his job to do so?

In the Echo of This Ghost Town

If faced with perpetuating the perfect lie or confessing the ugly truth, which would you choose? Seth Peters has been angry for a long time. Living with an abusive, alcoholic father has that effect. When he wakes up in a hospital - outside of his body - due to an accident that he doesn't remember, Seth is no longer angry; he's terrified. As his memories begin to return, he is confronted with a legacy of lies he's constructed to survive the pain of his own life. Realizing he's no different than the man he's loathed his whole life, Seth learns that his choices have set into motion far-reaching and terrible consequences. Challenged with wallowing in the pain or confronting his fears and admitting to the ugly truth about himself, Seth must decide if facing what he fears most to save his friend's life is worth the risk of losing his own.
