Estranged from his mother for forty years, Malachi Walmsley travels to his boyhood home of Covington, Louisiana, to settle her estate when he learns of her death. In the midst of various challenges in his life, including a pending divorce, Malachi fears his trip home will open old wounds that previously caused him to suffer frightening nightmares, which stem from a fatal accident when he was only eight years old that left his Uncle Buddy dead and his mother suffering from severe physical and psychological trauma. Once back in Covington, Malachi seeks counseling to help him dig deeper into the situation; however, as the mystery unfolds, it becomes clear that his problems are much deeper and more complicated than they appear.

Fractal is nothing less than a stellar, all-engrossing read. Crafted entirely in the form of email correspondence, author Kathryn Eberle Wildgen’s standout offering is a dynamic example of masterful storytelling. Combining intriguing story lines with superb character development, Fractal cleverly intertwines the elements of historical fiction and psychological mystery, keeping the reader in renewed, sustained suspense with each fresh turn of the page. With Fractal as her debut offering in the world of fiction, Wildgen is sure to amass a legion of devoted followers for each of her subsequent works. Highly recommended.
