These Silent Woods, by Kimi Cunningham Grant
These Silent Woods, by Kimi Cunningham Grant
A father and daughter living in the remote Appalachian mountains must reckon with the ghosts of their past in Kimi Cunningham Grant's These Silent Woods, a mesmerizing novel of suspense.
No electricity, no family, no connection to the outside world.
For eight years, Cooper and his young daughter, Finch, have lived in isolation in a remote cabin in the northern Appalachian woods. And that's exactly the way Cooper wants it, because he's got a lot to hide. Finch has been raised on the books filling the cabin’s shelves and the beautiful but brutal code of life in the wilderness. But she’s starting to push back against the sheltered life Cooper has created for her―and he’s still haunted by the painful truth of what it took to get them there.
The only people who know they exist are a mysterious local hermit named Scotland, and Cooper's old friend, Jake, who visits each winter to bring them food and supplies. But this year, Jake doesn't show up, setting off an irreversible chain of events that reveals just how precarious their situation really is. Suddenly, the boundaries of their safe haven have blurred―and when a stranger wanders into their woods, Finch’s growing obsession with her could put them all in danger. After a shocking disappearance threatens to upend the only life Finch has ever known, Cooper is forced to decide whether to keep hiding―or finally face the sins of his past.
Vividly atmospheric and masterfully tense, These Silent Woods is a poignant story of survival, sacrifice, and how far a father will go when faced with losing it all.
About
About
Each month, we embark on a new literary adventure, exploring a captivating book together. Our monthly discussions are engaging and varied — we gather at the library with snacks, sip tea at members' homes, enjoy outdoor picnics, visit restaurants, and sometimes watch a movie related to the book. These gatherings are more than just discussions — they’re a chance to spark curiosity, deepen friendships, and share some laughs.
Reading or finishing a book is optional! Whether you've finished every page, are halfway through, or are just curious to hear others' perspectives, you're welcome to join us. Our discussions blend structure and spontaneity: we take turns sharing our thoughts, followed by lively debates and reflections on the questions and themes the book inspires. It’s a warm, inclusive space where ideas flow freely, connections grow, and fun is always on the agenda.
