It’s been almost a decade since Maple Frye lived in Bat Cave, but a profound personal loss soon brings her back to the place where she grew up. While Maple struggles through her grief and questions the tragic turn in her life, she suddenly finds herself with an opportunity to somehow keep things as they’ve always been. Unable to resist the urge to at least try, Maple soon engages in an unexpected political endeavor, one that catapults her into the limelight and tests the very fibers of friendship and community.  With her old high school friend, Trece, at her side, and with a reemergence into her life of those she once knew, Maple is soon caught between the reality of change and the yearning for a life now held only in memory. Where Even the Mountains Sway is a story of reconciliation and regrets, of loss and longing . . .

And of the eventual journey we often take in our search for home—the home we believed would always be there.
