Book Review: 'Out of the Woods' is heartbreaking tale of trauma and survival
“Out of the Woods,” the newest true crime novel from bestselling author Gregg Olsen, hits shelves Aug. 1. The book tells the story of the 2005 Groene murder/kidnapping in Wolf Lodge. Olsen and Groene will be at the Well-Read Moose on Aug. 8 for a special book signing.
Victims of the most heinous crimes aren't always at the center of the story when the news cameras, podcasts and true crime aficionados rush in to document the case. Often these victims are never the ones telling their story and when everyone moves one they are forgotten while their perpetrators live in infamy. Author Gregg Olsen seeks to remedy this situation in his newest work which considers what happens to those victims once everyone else moves on.
“Out of the Woods: Girl, a Killer, and a Lifelong Struggle to Find the Way Home," is a heartbreaking tale that forces readers to confront the unbearably grim reality of survival. More than just the graphic details that happened to Shasta Groene in the Montana woods, Olsen take readers through the aftermath of what it actually means to have survived the unimaginable.
