April 2017 Debut of the Month.
Uniquely voiced, elementally powerful literary thriller that crackles with page-turning tension.
Aged seven, gutsy Elka ran away from her nana and wound up getting lost in a forest. She was found by Trapper, a lone hunter whose “voice had a breath of kindness to it”. But when Elka learns that the man she’s come to call Daddy is a “murdering, kid-killing bastard”, she flees him in search of her “true momma and daddy”, who left her in pursuit of gold rush riches.
But the wild land Elka traverses is populated by wolves, bears and the kind of humans a person could do without encountering…
The framing theme of hunting and searching - especially Elka’s sense of being tracked, and her raw instinct for survival - makes for a serious edge-of-your-seat experience. ~ Joanne Owen
