About this audiobook
An Amazon Charts bestseller.
When a family camping trip takes a dark turn, how far will one mother go to keep her family safe?
Struggling with working-mother guilt, Marlene Greene hopes a camping trip in the forest will provide quality time with her three young children—until they see fires in the distance, columns of smoke distorting the sweeping view. Overnight, all communication with the outside world is lost.
Knowing something terrible has happened, Marlene suspects that the isolation of the remote campsite is all that’s protecting her family. But the arrival of a lost boy reveals they are not alone in the woods, and as the unfolding disaster ravages the land, more youngsters seek refuge under her wing. The lives of her own children aren’t the only ones at stake.
When their sanctuary is threatened, Marlene faces the mother of all dilemmas: Should she save her own kids or try to save them all?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely brilliant! Relatable characters create a realistic world you can visualize.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Brilliant narration of a non-stop plot, a fun ride.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Read this thru in two days; brilliant writing, compelling story.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just plain amazing how Furniss wrote this...before the Covid pandemic! Who knew back then, what was coming---no, not as drastic as the story in this novel but the potential elements for disaster continue to be around us now and this novel certainly provides the reader with a lot of "what if" kind of thinking. This was quite a thriller of a book in fascinating as well as sickening detail but Marlene is a "super mother" as it turns out. Although I was NOT thrilled with the ending, at least we know she has a special bag with her from the doctor and immediately finding her niece leaves the reader with the thought that they will somehow, maybe, make it back to a rescue situation.
