Mizpah 1: The Baby Monitor
Book 1 of "Mizpah." June 1989. A week of storms parks over Cade County, and the secondhand baby monitor that stays plugged in "for storms" starts talking back. The voice is warm as a porch light and wrong as a stopped wind, and she is very sure that children belong downstairs, where it is safe. Shawn Taylor is the kid who notices, and this time what he notices wants to keep his whole family.

What you'll discover
As you move through the story and make choices, your DISC personality profile takes shape across four traits:
-
The Fearless First
You meet what scares you head on and out loud. When the dark speaks, you speak back first, and you would rather stand between trouble and your family than wait one second to see what trouble decides.
-
The Storyteller
You beat the dark by getting people to face it with you. You draw the truth out of little brothers and careful old shopkeepers alike, and your courage is loudest when somebody else needs to borrow it.
-
The Night Watchman
You hold the line by staying put. While everything strange gets stranger, you keep bedtime like bedtime and stay within reach, because you know the bravest thing in a storm is the person who does not leave.
-
The Mapmaker
You beat what you can measure, and you measure everything. Times, patterns, rules, and one arrow pointing west: you turn fear into facts until the facts show you the one true thing that ends it.
