Blurb:

Following his parents' ugly divorce, Jake Oliver chooses to move with his father to a remote corner of Connecticut. It is bad enough that their new home turns out to be a fenced-in dump in the middle of nowhere, but it seems that the previous owner, his dad's late Uncle Horace, had been the local crackpot ridiculed by the community for his belief that a Bigfoot roamed the vast woodland preserve that lay beyond the property.

Not everything about Jake's new life is bad, though. His job at the local market is okay, and it doesn't hurt that his coworker is pretty Nell Davis. But when odd things start to happen, like weird calls in the dead of night, stones thrown by an unseen assailant, and lingering foul odors wafting on the breeze, Jake starts to believe that maybe old Horace wasn't so crazy after all. With Nell's help, Jake is determined to make a name for himself by proving to the world that the mythical Sasquatch is alive and well and living in the woods just on the other side of that fence.

Andrea Schicke Hirsch grew up in Norwalk, CT and studied Theatre and English at Fordham University. Following graduation, she continued to reside in New York City to pursue a career in theatre (and became a really good waitress). She eventually returned to Connecticut, where she received her master’s degree in education, was a bookseller and children’s department manager for an independent bookstore, and a freelance editor and copywriter. While there has always been and will forever continue to be a stack of books by her bedside, she is also an avid movie fan, hopeless television binger, excellent cook and works on—usually completes (Saturdays are tough!)—the New York Times crossword puzzle as a daily necessity. She resides in Connecticut with her husband, two children and a pair of bossy dogs.
