SUMMARY:
A child who ran from the forest. A woman who must return to it. A young girl stumbles out of the bush into a tiny New Zealand town, her clothes smeared with dirt and blood, unable-or unwilling-to speak. No one's ever seen her before, but old-timers insist that she looks just like a girl who disappeared twenty years earlier. Effie has built a life for herself in Scotland, oceans and miles away from the secrets of her past, from a childhood spent in the wilds of New Zealand, hidden away with her family. As a child, she thought that it was her parents' love of the natural world that took them off-grid and into the bush. But as she grew, she began to see how unsafe and unwise their life was, and finally escaped, vowing never to look back. Now she lives on the Isle of Skye, as far from that dark forest as she can get. But the appearance of the strange little girl leads police to a murder scene. And to help solve the mystery of the child who looks so much like her, Effie will finally confront the horrors of her childhood-and head back into the trees"-- Provided by publisher.
