The Wilderness — Phyllis Bohonis

Thinking the pristine woodlands and peaceful river would give her the sanctuary she desperately needs, Hanna Davidson, a 56-year-old divorcee, flees from southern Ontario to a northern Canadian wilderness. She soon learns that the four-legged creatures lurking in the shadows are not the only predators to fear. There's a terror outside trying to move inside -- or is it just her imagination? When the wilderness closes in and her own sanity is in doubt, her nearest neighbor, the handsome Nelson Everett, is always there offering advice, comfort and sanc­tuary. After she disappears, her family looks sus­piciously at him. Is she an accidental victim of the wilderness or has she been taken?
