Every family has their secrets, but could yours change the trajectory of your life?

In Adam Basma's debut novel, There's a Tale In Between, we meet Alec, who has lived a relatively uneventful life in his small town. That is until his grandmother dies. When his entire family gathers for her funeral, he notices an unknown name on a gravestone in his family's plot. He soon uncovers a long kept secret of his family's dark history. At just eighteen years old, a close relative lost their life at the same time as his uncle's passing, but this other mysterious member was kept a secret from him.

A journey of self-realization and a desperate search for closure sets Alec on a course to the last known location of this secret family member. He seemingly bites off more than he can chew, when his truck breaks down and a deal to get him back home costs him more time and effort than he knew he would need. Caught between helping those that he just met, and making sense of the dark forces plaguing his path, Alec struggles to find meaning in his predicament.

He soon finds that nothing is as it seems.
