En la pequeña localidad de Choctaw, Alabama, durante el verano de 1961, Ben Wade se enamora de Kelli Troy. Kelli, una joven llena de vida, guarda un misterio que atrae y asusta a partes iguales. Sin embargo, un trágico suceso marcará para siempre a la población. Años después, Ben, convertido en médico, recuerda aquel verano y se pregunta qué buscaba Kelli en los bosques y quién la esperaba. A través de sus recuerdos, Ben desgranará los hechos que condujeron al triste desenlace en Breakheart Hill, revelando una historia de amor, culpa y secretos.
Thomas Cook was the founder of the travel agency Thomas Cook & Son. He was born into a poor family in Derbyshire and left school at the age of ten to start work as a gardener's boy. He served an apprenticeship as a cabinet maker before becoming an itinerant Baptist preacher. He was a supporter of the temperance movement and his first foray into tourism was a railway excursion to Loughborough for members of the Leicester Temperance Society in 1841. Following the success of this excursion, Cook, by now settled with his family in Leicester, began to organise tours further afield in the British Isles and, eventually, to the United States, Egypt and the Holy Land. In 1872, he went into business with his son as Thomas Cook & Son, with a head office in London. Following his retirement in 1878, he returned to Leicester and took an interest in the Baptist church and charitable work until his death. Cook is credited with having, through his all-inclusive tours, made travel and tourism accessible to a wider public.
