A Stark and Redemptive Coming-of-Age Tale

In the unforgiving wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, 12-year-old Leif loses both his parents within the span of a year. In a town where men bury their grief in work, whiskey, and violence, he must navigate a path between survival and self-destruction -- learning how to be wounded without being broken. How to love and grieve without destroying himself.

When a tragic logging accident shatters his world, Leif shoulders an unbearable burden, both physically and emotionally, as he struggles to uphold his father's legacy while questioning the very nature of manhood. Rich in atmospheric detail and raw emotion, The Faller evokes the survivalist grit of Jack London and the stark beauty of Hemingway, immersing readers in a landscape as brutal as it is redemptive.

With a keen eye for place and a profound understanding of grief, Michael Demaray crafts a haunting yet hopeful story of loss, resilience, and the power of choosing a different path.
