As a young girl, Briana was stolen from her family, chained, tortured, and thrown away like a sack of trash. As a young woman, Brinn has learned how to survive on her own, in the wilderness, relying only on her skills and a few unlikely friends to get by. She can not think of the helpless girl she once was, or the safe familiy she once knew. But when photojournalist Justin appears in her forest, Brinn is scared by the spark of hope that is reignited. The upheaval he can bring to her life could threaten her very existance, but after 8 years alone she's not sure she can pass up the chance to reconnect with society.It's a fairly predictable story arc, however it is well written and the characters are believable and sympathetic. It is a page-turner, as I was holding my breath for Brinn all the way, cringing at what she's endured, hoping she can indeed find a better life.
