Kidnapped by a man who seems torn between madness and complete self control, her journey through the wilderness was riveting as she dealt with her current dangers and her past pains. The writer writes with sensual awareness in a way where the reader feels both the emotional weight of fear and intention, and the grit and chill and agony of each moment.
