A journey full of unexpected twists, shattering turns, and moments of heart-wrenching beauty
Best-selling author Chris Whitaker in conversation with Sarah Frances Hardy for All the Colors of the Dark, a heart-wrenching epic of light and dark, triumph and tragedy, devotion and obsession and the fine line that separates them.
About the book
“With deeply affecting characters and ambition to spare, Whitaker has conjured a dazzling epic that defies easy categorization.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
1975 is a time of change in America. The Vietnam War is ending. Muhammad Ali is fighting Joe Frazier. And in the smalltown of Monta Clare, Missouri, girls are disappearing. When the daughter of a wealthy family is targeted, the most unlikely hero emerges—Patch, a local boy, who saves the girl, and, in doing so, leaves heartache in his wake.
Patch and those who love him soon discover that the line between triumph and tragedy has never been finer. And that their search for answers will lead them to truths that could mean losing one another.
