Breaking Wild

By: Diane Les Becquets

Narrated by: Therese Plummer, Saskia Maarleveld

In captivating prose, Diane Les Becquets tells the story of one woman missing in the Colorado wilderness and another bent on discovering the missing woman's whereabouts in an unforgettably moving and thrilling literary debut.

It is the last weekend of the season for Amy Raye Latour to get away. Driven to spend days alone in the wilderness, Amy Raye, mother of two, is compelled by the quiet and the rush of nature. But this time, her venture into a remote area presents a different set of dangers than Amy Raye has planned for, and she finds herself on the verge of the precarious edge that she's flirted with her entire life.

When Amy Raye doesn't return to camp, ranger Pru Hathaway and her dog respond to the missing person call. After an unexpected snowfall and few leads, the operation turns into a search and recovery. Pru, though, is not resigned to that. The more she learns about the woman for whom she is searching, and about Amy Raye's past, the more she suspects that Amy Raye might yet be alive. Pru's own search becomes an obsession for a woman whose life is just as mysterious as the clues she has left behind.

As the novel follows Amy Raye and Pru in alternating threads, Breaking Wild assumes the white-knuckled pace of a thriller laying bare Amy Raye's ultimate reckoning with the secrets of her life and Pru's dogged pursuit of the woman who, against all odds, she believes she can find.

loved it

Moving mystery with lots of backstory. No animal cruelty. Only legal hunting and nature's predation.

Good book just not for me

If you love love the outdoors and everything about it or if you grew up in the country this might appeal to you more because you might connect with it more naturally. At first I was really drawn in by it but after a while I just got bored! I don't think this was because of the writing or narration I honestly don't think this book is my favorite genre

Exceptional Story!!!! Loved it!!!

What a story! Very impressed! Slow start so I was worried but very VERY happy!

Great read

Great read. Leaves a few loose ends, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Couldn’t Stop Listening

Beautifully written, beautifully read. The descriptions are tangible. This book has layers, lessons, wisdom. The women are so similar, yet polar opposites. I loved it. Great survival lesson- in life, love, and the snowy wilderness. Bravo!
