Publisher's Synopsis
Hunter Strong has spent his life trapped in the shadows of a broken home. As the third of four children in a strict Catholic, conservative family, he learns early on how to hide his pain. With a mentally ill, alcoholic mother and an absent, workaholic father, Hunter has to depend on himself for support.
Bullied at school, struggling with self-doubt, and battling inner demons, Hunter turns to anything that offers an escape. When he finally meets someone who understands his struggles, he begins to see a glimmer of hope. But as his world continues to unravel, Hunter finds himself on a journey where survival means confronting the darkness he's tried so hard to hide.
Told with unflinching honesty, Lost in the Forest is a story of resilience, healing, and the quiet, persistent hope that even when everything feels broken, it's never too late to build something new.
