On a planting season afternoon long ago, 13-year-old Wyn Davies took a shortcut through the woods in her New Hampshire hometown and became a cautionary story. Now, twenty years later, she lives in New York, on the opposite side of an duplex from her ex lover, using their four-year-old princess shuttling between them. Wyn makes her living painting commissioned canvases of birch trees to match her clients' fixtures. However the nagging sense that she has sold her artistic soul is soon eclipsed by a larger fear. Robby Rousseau, who may have spent the past 2 decades in jail for a terrible criminal offense against her, may be released predicated on new DNA information - unless Wyn breaks her silence about this evening. To clear her head, refocus her painting, and evade an even more present threat, Wyn agrees to be short-term caretaker for a friend's new property on the distant Maine island. The house has been bare for years, and in the cellar Wyn discovers a box of film canisters labeled "Epitaphs and Prophecies". Like time pills, the photographs help her piece together the life span of the house's ex - owner, an artistic young mom, much like Wyn. But there is a mystery behind the images, too, and unraveling it will power Wyn to finally confront what happened in those woods - as well as perhaps escape them finally. A powerful and evocative book with an unsettling question at its heart and soul, T. Greenwood's The Golden Hour explores the power of art to connect, to heal, and also to show our most unpleasant and necessary truths.
