Beyond What We Know

Published Copy

Blurb

Growing up, letting go, and finding your second chance.

Haunted by guilt and ghostly echoes of the past, Mike Collins faces a summer that will change everything.

Fresh out of high school and on the verge of leaving his small town behind, Mike can’t shake the weight of his father’s death—or the fear of losing the two people he loves most: his mother and his first love. But when a mysterious musician named Chris Steele drifts into town, Mike’s world tilts into the surreal. There’s something eerily familiar about Chris—something that makes Mike question whether the past ever truly dies.

Set against the pulse of 1980s music, classic cars, and restless summer nights, Beyond What We Know is a haunting coming-of-age story about love, loss, and the thin veil between the living and the dead.

And its ending will stay with you long after the last page.
