The Siskiyou Son (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798393226206)

A young David Covington, imprisoned for murder, is forced to visit a prison psychologist. It is during one of these tumultuous sessions that the psychologist, a stern and well-respected Dr. Owen Garrity, inadvertently uncovers a secret kept hidden for over twenty years by David, his older brother, Tommy, and their younger sister, Anna. Incredibly, the secret David and his siblings share is only a small part of the mystery that Owen Garrity unravels. Owen Garrity admires the honest and reticent character that he sees in the young inmate. And David Covington is surprised to find that he looks forward to his sessions with the distinguished doctor. But when the doctor asks David about his childhood, the answers appear a little too rehearsed. With a simple telephone call to a small-town sheriff's department, twenty years of secrecy are unwittingly exposed. When the small-town detective believes David is not who he claims to be, David is forced to tell the truth about what happened to him and his brother and sister. A sad, painful journey transcends everyone's imagination as David tells Dr. Garrity the anguish of his childhood and the tales of his years living in the mountains. Tears, anger, laughter, and despair carry David through every step of his forced foray into his purposely forgotten past. Owen Garrity accompanies David through the savage trepidation of his childhood only to discover that, in spite of confessions to more unsolved crimes-crimes that could keep David imprisoned for the rest of his life-Owen Garrity believes David should never have been imprisoned at all.
