BLUE COPPER

A Roz Carney Novel - Book 1

When good intentions backfire.

"I have tears welled up in my eyes at the end, which is a sign of a hit for me."

Hunter has been hidden inside the same 1970s house for twenty years. He is twenty-five years old, encyclopedia-educated, endearingly quirky, and woefully lonely. When Roz Carney arrives on a thirty-day caregiving assignment, she believes she knows how to help. She does not yet know what happened before she got there.

The longer Roz stays, the more she senses omissions, distortions, and old damage no one has named plainly. Small details stop feeling small, and what first looks like professional concern begins shifting into something riskier, more personal, and harder to defend from the outside. By the time Roz understands what happened to Hunter before she arrived, helping him is no longer simple — or safe. She has already become part of his story.

Blue Copper is based on the short film with the same name, written and directed by Diane M. Dresback.
