All the Colors of the Dark
by Chris Whitaker
Set in the shadowed town of Monta Clare near the Ozark Plateau, thirteen-year-old Patch lives a life defined by his mother’s romanticized fictions and his own dreams of gold beyond the mountains. Born with only one eye and often found in the persona of a pirate, Patch's world is a mix of childhood imagination and the severe reality of a struggling household. However, a single morning in 1975 changes everything when a hopeful day turns into a fight for survival in the woodland. What begins as a story of a boy chasing a brighter world evolves into a decades-long saga of mystery and consequence.
