From a girl's abduction by a serial killer to the harrowing aftermath--a gripping and heart-wrenching true-crime story by Gregg Olsen, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of If You Tell.In May 2005, authorities discovered the Groene family murdered in their Idaho home. The family's youngest members--eight-year-old Shasta and her brother, nine-year-old Dylan--were nowhere to be found.As a community prayed for their return, Shasta and Dylan were already miles away in the woods of Montana at the hands of serial killer Joseph Edward Duncan. After a harrowing forty-eight day ordeal, Shasta was rescued. In many ways, her survival story was only beginning.In the following years, while Shasta struggled to outrun her trauma, a pattern of self-destructive behavior shadowed her like an ever-worsening thunderstorm. She still had hope buried deep inside. Every bit as much as the little girl who had been held captive in the woods. This would be an all-new battle for Shasta. And she was determined not to lose.Out of the Woods is the haunting and intimate true-crime story of one of the most notorious criminal cases in American history--and a young woman's journey to reclaim her life in its wake.

3.5 Stars • Out of the Woods by Gregg Olsen tells the true story of Shasta Groene, abducted at eight in 2005 by serial killer Joseph Edward Duncan III, who killed her family and held her and her brother Dylan captive for 48 days in Montana. Shasta survived; Dylan did not. The book focuses on Shasta‘s post-rescue struggles with trauma, addiction, and failed support systems, using interviews, court documents, and Duncan‘s writings.
