Publisher's Synopsis
Somewhere in Algonquin Park, a 3,000 square mile forest in northern Ontario, Canada, wanders fourteen year-old Mary Elizabeth. Separated from her family during a weekend camping trip, M.E., must recall every scrap of information she has ever heard about outdoor survival to deal with the harsh conditions and encounters with wildlife. Suddenly every small decision could mean the difference between life and death. With no food, no matches, and no phone, she is wholly unprepared to be alone in the woods. Her isolation is complete. She has only her own thoughts to keep her company. M.E.'s journey takes her to some of the uncharted territory of her own soul that ends with a haunting twist.
