About Where the Cypress Whispers (Unabridged)

Some people find themselves by running away. David found himself by drifting into the swamp. Tired of being the family scapegoat and worn thin by a lifetime of put-downs, David sets off into the depths of the southern swamp to be alone—only to discover he's never been more seen than by a stray dog who refuses to leave his side. What begins as an escape becomes an awakening as David and Buddy, his new four-legged companion, weather storms, uncover forgotten trails, and learn the rhythms of the wild bayou. Together, they restore an old cabin and find a purpose in guiding others through the beauty and mystery of the swamp. But when ghosts of the past show up—family members unraveling without their favorite target—David must decide if the man he has become can finally let go of the boy they refused to see. Where the Cypress Whispers is a deeply moving story of healing, found family, and the profound peace that comes from building a life on your own terms—with muddy boots, an honest heart, and a dog at your side.
