The Source

In the quiet town of Walnut Springs, Texas—a place most folks only find when they get lost—ten-year-old Billy Jackson stumbles upon a decades-old mystery that has been buried beneath rusted railroad tracks and whispered secrets.

When a hidden box filled with faded photographs, cryptic journal entries, and forgotten letters is unearthed near Hensley Creek, Billy and his two best friends are thrust into a chilling journey that will challenge everything they thought they knew about their town—and themselves.

What begins as a summer treasure hunt quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. The deeper they dig, the more they uncover about a mysterious train wreck in 1949, a vanished woman named Elizabeth Granger, and a conspiracy powerful enough to destroy lives. As shadowy figures begin to watch their every move, and explosions rock the very heart of their discovery, Billy and his friends must race against time to expose the truth before it’s lost forever.

The Source is a heart-pounding middle-grade mystery filled with suspense, small-town charm, and the boundless courage of kids determined to uncover the past. Written with warmth, intrigue, and adventure, it’s a story for listeners of all ages who still believe that sometimes the smallest voices uncover the biggest secrets.
