Summary
Kevin Hearne, author of the acclaimed Iron Druid Chronicles, returns with an otherworldly new novella!
Newly widowed and trying to cope with her grief, Winnie Mae Chisholm moves from Tennessee with her teenage son, Pax, to Oregon, hoping the change will let them both heal and move on. She’s warned when buying their new home that the next door neighbor, Mr. Fisher, is a famous recluse and no one has seen him in years, but that’s fine with her—she’s looking for quiet.
She’s not going to get it, however, because when Pax meets the neighbor, he discovers that the reason Mr. Fisher hides from the world is that he isn’t actually from this world. He’s been stranded for decades and he’s trying to get home, and he could really use some help.
Abruptly part of the best-kept secret on the planet, Winnie Mae and Pax have to protect Mr. Fisher from a nosy neighbor who would ruin his work and doom him to die among aliens, but they also have to ask themselves: How far would they go to escape their grief? Would another world be far enough?

A tale with twists and turns
I really liked this novella, and I'm hoping it might be the beginning of a bigger series.
The story runs it's twists cleverly, I started off thinking this was a book about loss. It turned into a book about prejudice, preconceptions and assumptions. I won't spoil the final twists, but get ready for some tables turning, environmental issues, and some solid sci-fi. It is a fun book that is beautifully read, and keeps it's readers on their toes! Enjoy!
Please note: I was provided with a review copy, but would purchase this book.
