Be warned: book gushing ahead. 
 The story of Cooper and Finch is one that will stay with you.
 I've been looking forward to reading These Silent Woods since it's release.
 Cooper and his eight-year-old daughter Finch live off the grid in a remote cabin in the woods, their supplies brought to them yearly by friend Jake. 
 Cooper is a veteran, having served in Afghanistan, and like so many others he did not come back the same man as when he went.
 Finch and Cooper were once known as Grace Elizabeth and Kenny.
 The story of what brought them to live their unconventional lifestyle is unfolded slowly, carefully. The pacing here is perfection, the plot absolutely enveloping. 
 I could not put this book down, though I craved to savour it.
 Some beautiful characterization here, filled with flaws and goodness alike. Quiet, pure moments are woven among tension and anxiety. 
 Prepare for tears and heartache and heart happy and all of the feels.
 I can't recommend this enough.
