About Into the Night Woods
In the heart of North Carolina's Appalachian Mountains, a summer escape becomes a fight for survival. Twelve-year-old Boyd is sent to his grandfather's farm where he is expected to spend the summer working. Alongside his best friend Roger, Boyd embarks on an adventure to find an abandoned trestle and explore a hidden cave. Meanwhile, Boyd's overbearing grandfather, Roger's alcoholic father, and a corrupt sheriff seem to stalk them all summer. As the adults and institutions around him fail, Boyd is pushed to lie, steal, and risk everything for Roger's safety – Boyd discovers that even triumph over evil often comes at a price.

Praise for Into the Night Woods
"…E. Davis Enloe has the talent to create an utterly convincing twelve-year-old protagonist, and we cheer on young Boyd and his best friend Roger as they enter the bewildering world of adults, which includes the frightening and cunning Earl Daggett. Rich in period details and memorable characters, Into the Night Woods is a worthy novel that deserves a wide and appreciative audience."
— Ron Rash, author of Serena and The Caretaker

"…perfectly captures the way a boy of twelve sees and navigates the world. Boyd Cash, whose best friend suffers increasing physical abuse from his father, finds that he is capable of actions he never could have imagined until his loyalty to his friend, Roger, exposes a darker and more reckless part of himself. Inevitably, Boyd makes that timeless journey out of innocence into a state of experience and emerges from the beautifully rendered North Carolina woods with a newfound knowledge of himself that Enloe, with great skill, makes us suspect will slowly turn into wisdom."
— Marlin Barton, author of Children of Dust
