Little girls don't come from the forest. They don't howl, have wolf pups for friends, or run and climb as fast as animals. Chief Ellie Cates doesn't believe it when she gets a call describing the girl who wanders into town, but where did she come from? Who is she? Why is she the way she is?
Dr. Julia Cates left her small town in Washington behind years ago. But now with her career as a child psychiatrist falling apart in LA, she accepts a call from her sister to come work with a mysterious child who wandered out of the woods.
Girl doesn't know who all the strange people are, she knows she shouldn't have left her cave - but when Him never came back, and the food ran out ... she had to go Out There.
Kristin Hannah is a masterful storyteller who has the power to keep you reading late into the night. She does not disappoint with this story about family, love, and the variety of experiences that make us who we are. Adults who enjoyed other Hannah books such as The Great Alone or The Nightingale will also enjoy this heart-pounding novel. Readers should know that this book contains some adult content and language. This would be a great choice for anyone who wants a good story of fiction that sucks you in and won't let go.
