Into the Wilderness: One Woman's Extraordinary Journey through Corruption, Lies, and Betrayal by Karen Marie Dion
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Into the Wilderness tells the story of Karen Marie, as she navigates her changing life after divorce. Attempting to raise her two children while staying safe from her bitter and vindictive ex-husband, Karen has to dig deep to find strength in the kindness of strangers and the joy of her own children. Fighting with tenants who band with her ex husband and getting caught up with the FBI and Judicial branch, Karen becomes a pinnacle of strength and quiet compassion.
A hard book to read at times as so much goes wrong for Karen. As a single mother, she has so much responsibilities on her shoulders and it is easy to give up and be crushed in the system. Karen is not weak though, and we get to see an example of true grit and strength. There is a lot going on in this book and while it may be easy to lose track of all that is going on, you will certainly not be bored or uninterested.
