Desi and he husband Peter and daughter Jules are at their home in the mountains to try and repair their broken marriage (unknown to daughter Jules). Peter and Jules have always been close and he's taught her survivalist ways and how to be safe in the wilderness.
Desi's brother Tommy and former lover Carter both show up unexpectedly. They will both shake loose she secrets that Desi had long held close to her chest.
Jules is falling for a local boy, Will. They have a near death experience but Jules training kicks in and gets them to relative safety. This was a very tense part of the book and I even started to tear up.
I didn't really like Peter. He was so standoffish and I could tell that he never really loved Desi all that much. Desi herself is a little bit of an enigma and I don't always understand the different ways she acted, but I could see her love for her daughter even if they fought or ignored each other more than they got along.
