They were both out of tears. Out of chances. But not out of grace.

John Walker didn’t come to the woods to be found—he came to disappear. Years of broken promises, failed marriages, and estranged children had carved a man hollowed by guilt. He was ready to end it all, believing the world, and his family, were better off without him.

But just as he’s about to make a final decision, a cry in the distance freezes him in place.

It’s Grace Monroe—widowed, heartbroken, and just as lost. Her own life shattered by an abusive marriage and the weight of being forgotten. Neither one knows the other is there, yet something divine orchestrates their encounter. Two broken souls, colliding in a moment that changes everything.

What begins as a night of shared pain becomes the first step on a hard road toward healing. Together, they rediscover faith, love, and the power of redemption. As John dares to reconnect with the children he left behind, and Grace slowly lets go of the guilt she was never meant to carry, the two learn that the journey back to hope is never walked alone.

Set in the quiet heart of Texas, Last Cry in the Woods is a profoundly moving story of second chances, spiritual awakening, and the family we fight to rebuild. With unflinching honesty, raw vulnerability, and surprising grace, this audiobook will speak to anyone who has ever doubted they could be forgiven—or loved again.

This is not just a story about survival. It’s about surrender. And how sometimes, the only way home is through the very place we were ready to die.
