ABOUT THE BOOK
"This tense wire of a novel thrums with suspense. . . . [this book] just might be the highlight of your summer.”–The New York Times
Cheryl Strayed's Wild meets The Revenant in this heart-pounding story of survival and revenge in the unforgiving wilderness.
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.
