The Stranger’s Hunt: A Town Searches for Itself

When a small-town protest ends in an explosion, history teacher Grant Harper is drawn into a mystery that changes everything he thought he knew about his community. What begins as a search for answers about that single event turns into a journey through memory, truth, and the fragile fabric that holds a town together.

Fairview was once ordinary, a place where neighbors waved and news spread slowly. Now, every story has two sides and every friendship carries a question mark. As Grant leads a fragile attempt to bring people back to the same table, a stranger appears at the river and saves a child, leaving behind more questions than answers. The act ignites something deep in Grant, a belief that compassion may be the only real form of courage left.

The Stranger’s Hunt is a moving, thought-provoking novel about memory, hope, and what happens when a community must rediscover itself. In the quiet aftermath of tragedy, one man learns that the middle ground is not a place, but a choice made every day.
