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.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Exciting, non-stop adventure story. This early Kate Alice Marshall book is not her usual gothic or romance. It's a great adventure novel, a bit like King's The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. I literally couldn't put it down, reading it non-stop until 4am. I recommend it for any reader."; "It gets your attention from the first page. Interesting book!"; "Omg! This was such an emotional story. I was in tears twice. When reading this book the author makes you feel completely like you are there feeling everything. Such a good book!"; "I really loved this. Apparently I am more my father's child than j realized, cause I absolutely vibed on the outdoor survivalist stuff. Plus, big dog stories are my jam."
