Publisher Description
“The Hermit’s Story,” a short story by Rick Bass, brings readers to a remote, mountainous place where two couples are having Thanksgiving dinner together. Up in the mountains, things are always quiet. In the valley below, one can usually find the hustle and bustle of a town—but not this Thanksgiving. The power is out, and a deep, dark peace holds the land. This selection is part of the full length audiobook, "Storm: Stories of Survival From Land and Sea."
