I originally would have given this 4.5 stars, but after reading the Author's Note at the end, I have to change my rating to 5 stars. My only complaint with the story was that the main character being an Olympic athlete made her a little more difficult to relate to. But knowing that this work of fiction was inspired by real events makes me appreciate that fact. This story was meant to be told exactly as it was.

A little slow out of the gate but it picked up nicely and didn't let off the gas.
Miley's personal growth through the horrific ordeal she was going through was amazing. She never lost her fire and ultimately used it to her advantage. I also liked how she pulled Mary (Rayna) out of her simple acceptance of thier shared situation. The bonding of the two women was what enabled them to escape.
Brent's never ending drive to find Miley was admirable albeit a little unbelievable.. Being in the woods for 4 weeks with only rations for maybe 2.. I get his devotion to the women he loves but come on, that was a bit of a stretch.
But he did find her and it aided in the dramatics of the final standoff, with Miley being able to rescue him in return.
The author's notes at the end were interesting and the bonus story focusing more on Rayna was sweet.
this is my first time not looking up any details on a book and i got to admit it took me for a spin and a half… and come to find out it was based on a true story that happened in the 1980s
