Synopsis
What it is
The Covey is a story built around family, memory, land, and the quiet violence of things left unsaid. It follows people bound together by place and history, even when they are trying to outrun both. The novel moves through grief, loyalty, old wounds, and the strange mercy of being seen by someone who should have forgotten you.

Sample Passage
“The field had gone quiet in the way a thing goes quiet when it is still listening. Nothing moved but the grass, and even that seemed careful.”
Author Note
This one belongs to the dirt, the dead, the people who leave, and the ones who keep hearing wings after the sky goes empty.
