Heartwood
by Amity Gaige
BARD # DB128729
In the heart of the Maine woods, an Appalachian Trail hiker goes missing. She is 42-year-old Valerie Gillis, who has vanished 200 miles from her destination. Alone in the wilderness, Valerie pours her heart into fractured, poetic letters to her mother as she battles the elements and struggles to keep hoping. At the heart of the investigation is Beverly, the determined Main State Warden tasked with finding Valerie on the ground. Meanwhile, Lena, a 76-year-old birdwatcher in a Connecticut retirement community, becomes an unexpected armchair detective. Rolling between these compelling narratives, a puzzle emerges, intensifying the frantic search, as Valerie’s disappearance may not be accidental. The mystery inspires larger questions about the many ways we get lost and how we are found.
