Kale Carson was barely fourteen years old when her mother married a self-important man. He came from nowhere, the man she and her brother called "the General," and took them away from everything they'd ever known. When their mother retreated within herself, the General filled their heads with fearful plans for the future. Then Kale found a friend, someone she could confide in, and she felt she had a chance at a normal life. Off on an adventure, it should have been the time of her life-but betrayal and heartbreak waited around the corner. Trying to pick up the pieces, she forges on alone, but the General's plans include her and he's decided it's time to reclaim her. Originally published as Push by D.P. Davidson
It's been eight years since Kale disappeared under her step-father's nose, and in that time she and her husband, Adam, have made a home and started a family. Though not in the way they expected. The promise of the little girl with green eyes is still a dream, but they face an even greater challenge when Kale's step-father decides to proceed with his deadly intentions. Afraid to face him directly, Kale and her family attempt to derail his scheme from the shadows, but when her future is threatened she finally understands what it means to lose everything and decides to push back.

"Wenn aber (meine) Ideen richtig sind \IIare es, \II ie ich voraussage, ein Fehler, zu bestreiten, dal3 sie im Verlauf einer ge\llissen Zeit Macht ge\llinnen \IIerden (Die) Gedanken der Oko- nomen und Staatsphilosophen, sO\llohl \IIenn sie im Recht, als \IIenn sie im Unrecht sind, (sind) einflul3reicher, als gemeinhin ange- nommen \IIird. Die Welt \IIird in der Tat durch nicht viel anderes beherrscht. Praktiker, die sich ganz frei von intellektuellen EinflUssen glauben, sind ge\llohnlich die Sklaven irgendeines ver- blichenen Okonomen. Wahnsinnige in hoher Stellung, die Stimmen in der Luft horen, zapfen ihren \IIilden Irrsinn aus dem, \lias irgendein akademischer Schreiber ein paar Jahre vorher verfal3te. Ich bin Uberzeugt, dal3 die Macht er\llorbener Rechte im Vergleich zum allmahlichen Durchdringen von Ideen stark Ubertrieben \IIird. Diese \IIirken z\llar nicht immer sofort, sondern nach einem ge\llis- sen Zeitraum; denn im Bereich der Wirtschaftslehre und der Staatsphilosophie gibt es nicht viele, die nach ihrem fUnfund- z\llanzigsten oder dreil3igsten Jahr durch neue Theorien beeinflul3t \IIerden, so dal3 Ideen, die Staatsbeamte und Politiker und selbst Agitatoren auf die laufenden Ereignisse an\llenden, \IIahrscheinlich nicht die neuesten sind. Aber frUher oder spater sind es Ideen, und nicht er\llorbene Rechte, von denen die Gefahr kommt, sei es zum Guten oder zum Bosen. " Diese haufig zitierten Worte von John Maynard Keynes - die Schlul3be- merkungen der Allgemeinen Theorie \IIirken heutzutage in doppelter Weise ironisch.

Brian Tarpley and Molly Mitchell embarked on their senior year of high school together as summer ended in 1984 - a summer of bonfires, field parties and jumping off a diving raft into the midnight waters of their fading childhood. Rebecca Tate was a six-year-old girl who enjoyed staying up late with her older sister and turning dead autumn leaves into art projects.As fall turned to winter and winter to spring 1985, a shadow fell across all of them - a shadow darker and colder than the harsh Michigan winter - leaving Brian and Molly's love for each other irrevocably altered and a precocious little girl missing.Thirty years later a discovery is made beneath a vacant parking lot near Detroit - a discovery that will bring these three together again. First loves often burn the hottest and, although they may diminish over time, the embers are rarely extinguished completely. Mixed in with those embers are the painful truths of what happened that year - painful truths that have left indelible marks on so many lives - in a spring of dark happenings.
