'Two people are less lost than one...'
There is a moment when childhood ends.
For Joseph 'Patch' Macauley and Saint Brown, it comes late one summer as Patch is abducted from their hometown. Devastated, Saint devotes her days to finding her best friend.
Held in total darkness, Patch is hopeless and alone - until he feels a hand in his. Though he never sees the girl, they fall in love. When he escapes, he's left with only her voice and name - and promises to spend the rest of his life searching for her.
As Saint's heart breaks for the boy she lost - and the man he becomes - she will shadow his journey, to uncover the truth behind who took him.
Over a lifetime driven by obsession, Patch and Saint must sacrifice everything for redemption, justice, and, ultimately, love - even if that means losing each other forever...

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Every short but impactful chapter of this unpredictable epic pulses with foreboding and emotion. It’s 1975 in small-town Missouri and teenagers Saint and Patch are inseparable. But their easy-going friendship, built on pirate stories and beekeeping, is fractured one day when Patch vanishes. Loyal Saint pesters and searches and sleuths until she finds her friend. But where was he taken, who helped him stay alive for all those months, and will he ever recover? Determining what’s real and what’s not becomes a quest that will endure decades. As Patch and Saint’s lives take ever-converging paths, questions remain about what happened in that woodland clearing and what it will cost the pair to solve the mystery. Guided with cool, calm articulation by actor/narrator Edoardo Ballerini, the offbeat characters, surging mystery and expansive plot of All the Colours of the Dark are unforgettable.
