About this listen

Chris is a single parent, widower, who makes a living telling stories of great heroic acts. But for his part, he doesn't truly believe heroism exists any longer, especially not after his wife's death. Until he takes his two young sons on their first backpacking trip on the last August weekend before school starts when they are chased from their tent by a creature of the woods with aberrant behavior. He flees with his sons into the cover of night thinking the threat has passed them by. Instead, he finds himself with his back against the wall with a simple choice: stand aside and let his sons die a horrific death, or place himself in between and fight.

Courage Between is based on true events in the author's life in the vein of Jack London's The Call of the Wild. It is the story of the ordinary man who is willing to make the extraordinary choice, and finding the courage to do so in that thin space between life and death.
