Changes in the Land
Releasing in April 2024!
Matthew Cheney
The cycle of life is the cycle of death.
In life is our death, in death our life.
In our life is the life of the land.
A vast park in a remote corner of New England founded by a 19th-century robber baron has still been maintained by the two families living there for generations—a strange place, a wild place, where dignitaries such as Theodore Roosevelt once hunted big game. Adams Park has remained unchanged for a century. It is a place that inspires the curiosity of others if they even know its existence. But the families have secrets, and nothing remains unchanged forever. In this thrilling novella by acclaimed author Matthew Cheney, the land has desires of its own.
