Though only twelve years old and without a day A NOVEL
spent in a classroom, June is just as comfortable
reading and thinking deeply as she is hunting
game and chopping wood. Thanks to her rustic
but joyful life in the Blue Mountains of Washington
State, June is growing into a young woman who
combines the best traits of her scholarly mother
and her practical father.
But when welfare workers and government
officials threaten to take June away from her
parents, her idyllic childhood is thrown into
dangerous turmoil. To defend their way of life,
June and her father must run. They escape into
the mountains on horseback with nothing to
protect them but her agile mind and survivalist
skills. Will everything June's parents taught her
be enough to outrun the danger? Or will she be
taken away from the only home and family she's
ever known?
