Wren and Sage don’t know any other life than the one they have lived in a cabin with Mama and Evie. Mama and Evie haven’t returned yet. Mama told them not to leave the cabin. Mama told them if they go outside not to go past the tree line. Mama told them Evie was sick and she needed to take her and find her help. Mama would sometimes disappear on her own but would always come back with a wagon full of supplies from the Supply Man. Mama told them a lot of things. Mama was wrong.
Can you imagine living out in the middle of what is supposedly nowhere … not knowing there was a better life, a better way of doing things? Can you also imagine being the wife of a rich man looking out the window and thinking you see someone in your driveway? Can you imagine what you might think when two ragamuffin girls knock on your door after stumbling out of the woods?
While reading this book, I was beginning to wonder how these two stories were going to intersect and when they did, it all made perfect sense. Ms. Kent has done an outstanding job of bringing these two stories together, bringing these two families together in a way that will have you shaking your head. The final truth is revealed in the end.
I have now officially read all of Ms. Kent’s books!
