After her mother's death, Liz Thomas inherits the key to a bank lockbox containing the official government documents of Camp 10, a prisoner-of-war camp located in the sleepy town of Willow Creek, AB during World War II. As Liz desperately attempts to piece together reports on a life she never knew her mother had, she discovers a family secret so tragic that it was kept under lock-and-key for over sixty years of Canadian history.

Praise for Incident at Willow Creek
"“Within a few lines of Don Hunter’s narrative, you can see that town, that young boy, and the prairie after the rain … Don Hunter has written a very believable tale. He brings all the parts together in the story’s past, and offers an understated but poignant ending in the story’s present.”
~ Legacy Magazine
