In the vast, untamed landscapes of Yellowstone and the Maine woods, survival demands courage and confronting the past. In Beartooth, Callan Wink spins a tale of two brothers whose desperate circumstances lead them into a dangerous scheme, testing their loyalty, resourcefulness, and understanding of the wilderness. In Heartwood, Amity Gaige delivers a suspenseful, intimate story of a hiker lost in the Maine wilderness, a relentless search led by a determined game warden, and an unexpected armchair detective piecing together clues from afar. Both authors explore the fragility of human connection, the unpredictability of nature, and the ways secrets, choices, and endurance shape the paths we traverse — whether in the wild or within ourselves.
