Book description
There's nothing more human than a broken heart. In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead, his only brother wants nothing to do with him, and he's been fired from his job as a journalist in Washington, DC. With nothing left to lose, he returns to his family's summer cabin outside the small mountain town of Roseland, Oregon, to try and find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It's not. Inside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary ten-year-old girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis, who isn't exactly as she appears. Soon it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: let himself drown in the memories of his past, or fight for a future he never thought possible. Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them who want nothing more than to control her.Review"It will renew your faith in humanity." -Terry Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of the Shannara series "Klune's latest is a sweet tale of grief and second chances, and a ghost story about not giving up on even the most lost of souls." -Booklist "Tenderness, wit, and skillful worldbuilding elevate this delightful tale.
