Where the Sky Meets the Lake

At Alderbrook Camp, where loons call across still water and cedar trails wind through the northern forest, old wounds refuse to remain buried.

Eight years after the tragic drowning of their son Adam, his parents return to the place that changed their lives forever. What begins as a proposed luxury development soon awakens buried grief, long-held secrets, environmental concerns, and a growing conflict that could forever alter the future of the lake they once loved.

As surveyors arrive, court battles loom, and tensions rise between preservation and progress, drawing those connected to Alderbrook into something deeper than land disputes alone. Former campers, staff, environmental advocates, and old friends begin uncovering truths about the camp's history - and about themselves.
Yet amid the uncertainty, life at Alderbrook continues:
Campfires burn beneath starlit skies.
Children laugh along the shoreline.
Friendships deepen.
Unexpected kindness appears.
And healing quietly begins where no one expected to find it.
Rich in atmosphere, emotional depth, mystery, and hope, Where the Sky Meets the Lake is a reflective literary novel about loss, redemption, environmental stewardship, and the enduring power of belonging.
