Brought to you by Penguin. THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A profound and explosive novel about a spirited girl alone in the wilderness, trying to survive A servant girl escapes from a settlement. She carries nothing with her but her wits, a few possessions, and the spark of god that burns hot within her. What she finds is beyond the limits of her imagination and will bend her belief of everything that her own civilization has taught her.
