Program Description

Event Details

1975 is a time of change in America. The Vietnam War is ending. Muhammed Ali is fighting Joe Frazier. And in the small town 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. 

A missing person mystery, a serial killer, a love story, a unique twist on each, Chris Whitaker has written a novel about what lurks in the shadows of obsession and the blinding light of hope.
