Fiction by John Hart.
This is the sequel to The Last Child, which I read several years ago and have mostly forgotten the plot of. (I mention that to let you know that reading the first book is not necessarily required in order to enjoy this one.)
In this book, Johnny Merriman is a young man living woodsman-hermit-style on a large plot of land his family owns called the Hush. The Hush is a mixture of Carolina swamp and forest, and it is rumored to be haunted by the spirits of hanged slaves from before the Civil War. For Johnny, the Hush is a magical place whose beauty only he understands.
But now there is a billionaire hunting nut who wants the Hush for himself. How far will Johnny go to keep his beloved land? And what secrets does the Hush really hold?
This was a really good story!
