Out of the woods : a girl, a killer, and a lifelong struggle to find the way home

Olsen, Gregg2025
Book
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.
