BackCountry - Paperback

by S. L. Swan (Author)

With their ten-month-old daughter in tow, Amy and Mark are ready for their first, much-anticipated backcountry hiking adventure. But their carefully planned journey turns into a nightmare when they encounter a dangerous bear. As the huge predator stalks their small family, tensions mount and tempers flare. Soon Amy is forced to come to terms with the truth: that she has lost sight of who she is, and that her partner is not the man she believed he was.

BackCountry is a quick-paced, suspenseful read that's perfect for readers who love adventure in the wild outdoors-but it also examines how easy it is to fall into abusive relationships, and how hard it can be to return to ourselves in the aftermath. With high-adrenaline chases, thoughtful flashbacks, and meaty interpersonal revelations, this novel is sure to appeal to readers who want to set off into the backcountry of the human psyche.
