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.

Oh my goodness, I am still reeling from the way this book came to a close (if you can call it that!) Mysterious, eerie, dark, twisted, haunting… these are just a few words I could use to describe this outstandingly written psychological thriller!
We, the readers, are basically just along for the very tumultuous ride as sisters Fiona and Violet navigate both their unreliable memories and their current messy lives twenty-five years after their plane crashed and left them stranded in the woods for 12 weeks.
I loved both sisters right away. Their stories back then and in present day were filled with trauma and survival, gripping me right from the beginning and at times making my skin crawl. As clues to what really happened in the woods all those years ago were slowly revealed chapter after chapter in multiple different perspectives and you never quite knew who was actually telling the truth. There were so many illusions, secrets, and misdirection that it was hard to trust anyone and yet, I couldn’t help but root for Fiona and Violet to come out the other end of this together.
I absolutely loved Marr’s writing style. Subtle wording made all the difference if you wanted to know what was really going on, but you had to pay attention or you’d miss it. Sometimes personal accounts didn’t line up and things didn’t really make sense… until all of the sudden, they did! I’ve already downloaded another of Marr’s books to my kindle ready to devour next!
