The sole survivor of a plane crash, 72-year-old Cloris Waldrip is lost in the unforgiving wilderness of Montana's Bitterroot Range, exposed to the elements with no tools beyond her wits and ingenuity. Intertwined with her story is Debra Lewis, a park ranger struggling with addiction and a recent divorce, who is galvanized by her new mission to find and rescue Cloris. Days stretch into weeks, but with nearly everyone else giving up, Ranger Lewis stays true until the end. "A truly spectacular first novel: weird, tender, funny, grotesque—above all, deeply, achingly human. It tugged at my thoughts during the days I spent reading it, and has made for itself a permanent place in my memory."—Jennifer Egan
