A young woman with a troubled past helps an unusual young man find his father
in the beautiful but dangerous wilds of Minnesota. Twenty-three-year-old speech
therapist Maya Stark was lucky to get the job at the Congdon Psychiatric
Facility considering that she used to be a patient there. After Maya's mother,
Jane, a geologist who fostered her daughter's love for the natural world, tried
to kill herself and then disappeared, Maya lost her way, making a bad decision
that led to a shocking act of violence and then to a stint at Congdon. But she
got herself together, got her degree, and she loves her job. She's even
rebuilding her relationship with her father, though she finds it hard to let
people get close to her. When 19-year-old Lucas Blackthorn is admitted after a
burglary attempt, he seems to recognize Maya, but that would be impossible
since he's spent the past 10 years off the grid after disappearing into the
expansive Boundary Waters with his father, Josiah. His first encounter with
Maya ends with a cord around her neck as he tries to escape, but Maya refuses
to let the incident slow her down. Despite Lucas' aggressiveness, Maya is one
of the few people he responds to, and her boss and former doctor assigns her to
his case. Maya is surprised but undeniably intrigued and begins to look forward
to her time with this sad young man. They eventually form a bond, and when Maya
discovers that Lucas' father is still alive but in danger, she finds she's
willing to do just about anything to get them back together before it's too
late. Bathed in shades of melancholy, Maya's narration, woven in with Lucas and
Josiah's heartbreaking story, is a testament to resiliency, and when Maya
reveals her secret—the event that led to her time in Congdon—it's a shocker.
But it's her ability to endure and thrive that makes her so fascinating; she's
actually quite a kick-ass when push comes to shove. Keep tissues handy for this
one but be assured that, in the end, there </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761360547296426174.post-68951501748508587602018-06-28T06:21:00.001-07:002018-06-28T06:21:25.202-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
