The Mountain's Child($12.00Value)

Description

Willa has never fully experienced safety. Neglect and cruelty marred her upbringing, as Maine's foster care system shuffled her around until one night she ran into the forest. She created her own haven in the mountains, complete with a concealed shelter, a family of woodland animals, and dolls made from fabric scraps. Willa, alone but resolute, learned to survive where others felt she couldn't. Years pass, and the forest becomes her world. This changes when a lost hiking family discovers her secret house. For the first time, Willa is forced to choose between staying in the only life she's ever known and starting over with strangers who promise her something she's always desired but never trusted: belonging. The Mountain's Child is a frightening and hopeful story about resilience, healing, and the wonderful fortitude required to find a family through love rather than blood.
