Inside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary little girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis, who isn''t exactly as she appears.

He lost everything. Then he found himself . . .

In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright is at a loose end: his parents are dead, his older brother has disowned him, and he's been fired from his job. Looking for a sense of direction, he returns to his family's summer cabin in Oregon.

The cabin should be empty but it's not. Inside is a man named Alex, and an extraordinary little girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. There's far more to Art than meets the eye. But as Alex and Nate bond over just how special she truly is, they discover that powerful forces are closing in forces that want nothing more than to control her.

As danger draws near, Nate decide whether to drown in the memories of his past, or fight for Art and a future he never thought possible.
