Hollow Creek was supposed to be buried beneath the new development, another forgotten corner of Indiana paved over by progress and quiet denial. The brochures promised serenity, the builders promised safety, and the townspeople believed the past had finally been laid to rest. But the land remembers what people forget. When seventeen-year-old Lauren Hargreaves disappears near the old creek bed, the surface of Chesterton begins to crack, letting something ancient rise through the seams.Called back together after decades apart, Patty, Gabby, Andi, and Mandy find themselves confronting the night that changed their lives twenty-five years ago. The fire. The farm. The well that should never have been opened. As floodwaters swallow the town and voices echo through the pipes, they discover that the spring beneath Hollow Creek is not a myth and not a memory. It is alive. It is listening. And it has been waiting for them.As the boundaries between the living and the dead collapse, every choice they have made is pulled into the current. They must face the haunting that began with Michael VonGerheart and the family he tried to keep, along with the grief they have carried silently ever since. If they hope to save Lauren and the town that stands above the buried well, they will need to confront the truth that water never forgets and every wound eventually rises to the surface.Hollow Creek is a story of generational secrets, quiet courage, and the way people hold each other together even when the world falls apart. At its heart is the reminder that redemption does not erase the past. It listens, it remembers, and if you are brave enough, it might just let you go.
