An searingly powerful, superbly written and unputdownable thriller that is The Road meets Winter's Bone.

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO PROTECT THOSE YOU LOVE?
Life can be brutal.
It's taken everything from Jack. Now it's coming for his little brother. Alone in the harsh Idaho Winter, their only chance of survival is finding the drug money that destroyed their family.Jack knew it. So did I.
For seventeen years, Ava's father has controlled her life. He has silenced her voice and taught her to love no one.
When Jack and I met, did I sense the coming tornado?
As Ava realises her father is on Jack's trail, she must choose whether to remain silent or fight for the brothers' survival - and her own chance at freedom.

A searingly powerful thriller about love and redemption, asking how we decide what's right and wrong in a world where neither is simple, and what we risk if we fail.

About the author

Cory Anderson

Cory Anderson was born in Orio and now lives in the Wasatch Mountains with her husband and children. Her debut, What Beauty There Is, is a story that came from her grief and in places is drawn from her own personal experiences. She was the first in her family to graduate, and now serves as faculty, and organizes, the Hidden Springs Writers Retreat for aspiring authors. When not enjoying family time or wandering in the mountains, she spends countless hours writing, sometimes in the woods with just a pencil and paper. Always witha full heart

Praise for What Beauty There Is

Beautifully written and superbly constructed, Anderson pulls you onto a chilling footpath of love and loss and keeps you there until you've read every last word

Ruta Sepetys

Riveting and unforgettable.
