What We Buried
A Novel

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Upstate New York, October. The house Daniel Hart grew up in is due to be demolished on Monday. Before the concrete comes, he goes back for the three time capsules he buried under the willow with his father, at six, eight and ten years old.

Weeks after the last one went into the ground, his parents died on a bridge on Route 9.

Inside the final tin is a letter from his ten year old self about the morning his father lost his briefcase. Daniel remembers where it was. On an impulse born of grief, he writes one sentence on a slip of paper and buries it again.

By the time he gets home, his mother is calling to ask if he's coming to dinner.

What We Buried is a story about cause and effect, and about what a single change can cost. Every life Daniel saves shifts the weight onto someone else he loves. Every edit erases a little more of the man doing the digging. And the oldest tin, the one from his sixth birthday, holds a choice he can't take back.

Some things are buried for a reason.
