The Caves of Red Cliff Ridge

A Brynn Walker Mystery: Book 2

Published Copy

Blurb

The map was hidden. The cave was forgotten. The secret was never meant to be found.

When twelve-year-old Brynn Walker finds an old map hidden inside a fossil book, it leads her to a forgotten cave in the red cliffs outside Vernal.

Inside may be the lost journal of a fossil hunter who disappeared from local history after claiming he made an extraordinary discovery.

But Brynn, Tessa, Max, and Rex are not the only ones searching. A visiting historian wants the journal for himself—and he will risk damaging the cave to get it.

To protect Vernal’s past and uncover her own family’s connection to the mystery, Brynn must follow the clues before someone else reaches the hidden chamber first.

Author

Sandra Boyle writes emotionally rich, psychologically grounded fiction that explores memory, identity, and the quiet fractures that shape a life. After 42 years as a nurse practitioner in family medicine, she brings a rare clarity and compassion to her storytelling, blending emotional realism with subtle speculative threads and character-driven depth.

Her work spans women’s fiction, speculative fiction, and sci-fi, unified by a fascination with emotional inheritance and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. Whether she’s writing about family, identity, or the shifting nature of memory, her novels invite readers into intimate, resonant worlds that linger long after the last page.

Sandra also writes nonfiction under S.B. Wade and speculative / sci-fi under S. Boyle.
