Summary
1903. 19-year-old Mary Boulton, widowed by her own hand, embarks on a frantic odyssey across Idaho and Montana. The details of Boulton's sad past - an unhappy marriage, a dead child, crippling depression - slowly emerge as she reluctantly ventures… into the mountains, struggling to put distance between herself and her two vicious brothers-in-law, who track her like prey in retaliation for killing their kin. Some descriptions of sex. Some descriptions of violence. Some strong language. Canada Reads 2009. 2007.
