The Heart of a Distant Forest

The story follows retired professor Andrew Lachlan, who returns to his family lake house in Georgia with the intention of facing his mortality. Instead of succumbing to solitude, he finds himself invigorated by his surroundings and the arrival of a young country boy, Willie Sullivan. Willie's presence challenges Lachlan's quest for peace and reignites forgotten memories, leading to a profound exploration of life, nature, and the connections that transcend age and experience.
