In a Boulder’s Shadow begins a week into the New Year. A college baseball player kneels in the snow on a Chicago sidewalk, staring at the bodies of his friend and an eleven-year-old boy. Knowing his failed attempt to rescue the child from a gang initiation led to their deaths, he roams aimlessly until meeting another wanderer holding fast to her own dark secret from a distant war.
In a Boulder’s Shadow chronicles the journeys of four characters from different walks of life trying to escape the guilt of a deadly mistake, a war, a school shooting, and a rejected marriage proposal. Knocked to their knees by their circumstances, they are drawn to the same woodland camp in northeastern Pennsylvania where a mysterious boulder awaits in the woods.
The characters come together in the shadow of the boulder to heal but soon find they must fight to prevent its destruction as the camp’s owner faces the possibility of losing his family name and lands passed down from his great grandfather. Decades-old antagonisms between the owner, the caretaker, and a local handyman are exposed in the heat of summer and stoked by the greed of a real estate developer leading to a final choice: destroy the boulder for financial gain or unite and risk all to save it. The choice becomes clear when a forest fire rages and the owner makes the ultimate sacrifice to save his land and all who come to the camp.
