Hollows of the Oak: The Key
by Stephanie Filicsky Muir
Gwen loves going up into the attic of the farmhouse that has been in her family for generations to hunt for old and forgotten treasures. She takes the new-to-her finds to a place tucked away in her yard—a place that she wants to keep all to herself. Elbow deep in old boxes and chests, she uncovers items that give her a nagging feeling that her mom is keeping something from her. Suddenly, she realizes she is searching for answers to questions she doesn’t even know she needs to ask.
While Gwen is struggling and searching, her little brother has struggles of his own. School has been tough for Monty, and he wants to escape. He just doesn’t quite know how… until he stumbles upon a hidden gem in the woods behind his family’s old farmhouse. Once he discovers this magical place that has been hidden in plain sight, he keeps it all to himself until an accident forces him to share it with his sister.
Together, brother and sister navigate through intense fear and heartbreak intertwined with poignant moments and unexpected surprises.

Author
Stephanie Filiesky Muir is hesitant to call herself a writer or an author. Instead, she prefers to call herself a storyteller. She has been making up stories spontaneously for her children for many years. The story told in this book began one night when her son requested for her to tell them a story made up just for him and his sister. They loved it so much that every night, she had to add more to the story until it became what it is today. After living and traveling the country in an RV, Stephanie, along with her husband, son, daughter, and dog, in an interesting twist of life imitating art, now live in an old farmhouse that is over a hundred years old in a rural town in Indiana.
