The Story

Follow the Trail

What begins as another stop on a family’s RV journey changes when an injured historian stumbles into their campsite carrying an old journal—and a warning.

The journal belonged to Elias Whitlock, a man whose secrets have remained buried for more than a century. Its pages hold cryptic sketches, strange symbols, forgotten landmarks, and the beginnings of a trail that was never meant to be easy to follow.

For David, Michelle, Emma, and Jacob, curiosity soon becomes something more. Each clue draws them deeper into Whitlock’s past and farther into country where mistakes carry consequences. But they aren’t the only ones searching.

Someone else wants what lies at the end of the trail. And they’re getting closer.

What was he trying so hard to hide?
