I loved this book. It was previously published as The Marsh King's Daughter. Why do publishers keep changing the names of books? I've been caught many times that way! Anyway, this was a really good psychological thriller. A 28 year old woman called Helena, who is married with two little girls, hears that her father, after 16 years in prison, has escaped and murdered two guards in the process.

Helena's mother was kidnapped at the age of 14yrs and Helena was born two and a half years into her mother's captivity and raised in an isolated cabin, on the marshes (Michigan's Upper Peninsular)..

While the police are searching for the escaped prisoner (in the wrong places) Helena knows exactly where her father would be heading and she sets out to track him on her own before he gets to her first.

A wonderful story which had me gripped to the very last page. The story constantly dips back to Helena's childhood. The only people she ever knew or spoke to were her parents and everything she ever learned about survival was from her father, whom she adored and a National Geographics magazine. She was the consummate wild child!
