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 --- 8-year-old Shasta and her brother, 9-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.
