In 2005, eight-year-old Shasta Groene vanished after her family was brutally murdered in their Idaho home. The manhunt gripped the nation. For forty-eight days, she was held captive by serial killer Joseph Edward Duncan in the remote woods of Montana. When she was rescued, it seemed like the nightmare was over.
But surviving was only the beginning.
As the years passed, Shasta faced a new fight—against trauma, addiction, and the long, aching shadow of what was taken from her. Out of the Woods is not just the story of a horrifying crime. It’s a survivor’s unflinching path toward healing.
Gregg Olsen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of If You Tell, brings empathy, tension, and humanity to one of the most haunting cases in recent history.
