Thursdays in the Grotto Community Forum
When Appalachian Game Warden Aiden Huff loses his son, his deep despondency brings on an avalanche of other tragedies, taking with it his job, his life-long friends, and even his dear wife. But raised as a child of the hills, Aiden knows the spirit of Mother Mountain can make or break a man, so he sets out to accept either fate in her arms.
When his journey takes him to a hallowed grotto off the highest trails, he encounters another wayward traveler hiding from the world. It’s a good thing God has placed a spark of salvation alongside this lost soul. Will it be enough to not only redeem this evil spirit but also guide Aiden in rediscovering a life of faith, peace and purpose? Spoiler Alert; God never fails!
But please watch out for the bears, federal agents, cougars, helicopters, horses, nosy town folk, and so much more Aiden must encounter to keep the sacred grotto and its sojourners a secret. For him, however, they might all play a role in the spiritual journey that could become his destination. Come find out all that Aiden discovers about life and unconditional love during his Thursdays in the Grotto.
