Short Synopsis
Cheryl Strayed's Wild meets The Revenant in this heart-pounding story of survival and revenge in the unforgiving wilderness.

Full Synopsis
After: Jess is alone. Her cabin has burned to the ground. She knows if she doesn't act fast, the cold will kill her before she has time to worry about food. But she is still alive—for now.

Before: Jess hadn't seen her survivalist, off-the-grid dad in over a decade. But after a car crash killed her mother and left her injured, she was forced to move to his cabin in the remote Canadian wilderness. Just as Jess was beginning to get to know him, a secret from his past paid them a visit, leaving her father dead and Jess stranded.

After: With only her father's dog for company, Jess must forage and hunt for food, build shelter, and keep herself warm. Some days it feels like the wild is out to destroy her, but she's stronger than she ever imagined.

Jess will survive. She has to. She knows who killed her father . . . and she wants revenge.

"I couldn't set this book down-the words actually made me shiver. It's Hatchet meets The Revenant, infused with fierce, undaunted girl power." -S.A. Bodeen, award-winning author of The Raft

"Amy Mcfadden's evocative voice guides listeners through protagonist Jess's harowing ordeal . . . her gripping delivery expresses the exhaustion, longing, and pain Jess experiences." -AudioFile
