Summary

For two sisters, confronting the past could come at a terrible price in a riveting novel about a family tragedy—and family secrets—by the #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author Elle Marr.

Fiona and Violet Seng were just children when their family’s Cessna crash-landed in the Washington wilderness, claiming the lives of their parents. For twelve harrowing weeks, the girls fended for themselves before being rescued.

Twenty-five years later, they’re still trying to move on from the trauma. Fiona repurposes it into controversial works of art. Violet has battled addiction and failed relationships to finally progress toward normalcy as a writer. The estranged sisters never speak about what they call their Alone Time in the wild. They wouldn’t dare—until they become the subject of a documentary that renews public fascination with the “girl survivors” and questions their version of the events.

When disturbing details about the Seng family are exposed, a strange woman claims to know the crash was deliberate. Fiona and Violet must come together to face the horrifying truth of what happened out there and what they learned about their parents and themselves. Before any other secrets emerge from the woods.

Critic reviews

“Jennifer Aquino, Christina Ho, Naomi Mayo, and Kenneth Lee perform this thriller about two sisters who survived a small plane crash and 12 terrifying weeks in the Washington wilderness.… The four performers deliver the four points of view; each character has a distinct voice and personality. The variety of performers keeps listeners engaged from the innocent beginnings of the mystery to its jaw-dropping ending.” AudioFile Magazine

“Twisted, cleverly red herring-littered plotting. Readers will gladly follow [Marr’s] lead to the final page.” Booklist

“A steady build-up that questions the origins of a tragedy and the motives of the survivors and pits survival, ambition, and perhaps the truth against each other, leading to a finale that will surprise even the most perceptive readers. Will appeal to fans of Jennifer Hillier, Jordan Harper, and Michelle Sacks.” Library Journal

Very enjoyable. Worth 4 stars. First book listened to by this author.

I have given this title 4 stars. It was a decent listen,bit slow to start but soon got in to it. The narration was great and really suited the book but I would only reward 3 stars for general performance. This was my first book by this author. Would listen to another one I think by them.
