About the book
Inspired by a terrifying true story from the author’s hometown, a heart-pounding novel of suspense about a small Minnesota community where nothing is as quiet—or as safe—as it seems.
Cassie McDowell’s life in 1980s Minnesota seems perfectly wholesome. She lives on a farm, loves school, and has a crush on the nicest boy in class. Yes, there are her parents’ strange parties and their parade of deviant guests, but she’s grown accustomed to them.
All that changes when someone comes hunting in Lilydale.
One by one, local boys go missing. One by one, they return changed—violent, moody, and withdrawn. What happened to them becomes the stuff of shocking rumors. The accusations of who’s responsible grow just as wild, and dangerous town secrets start to surface. Then Cassie’s own sister undergoes the dark change. If she is to survive, Cassie must find her way in an adult world where every sin is justified, and only the truth is unforgivable.

What does it mean to lose yourself—and why might it be the key to discovery?
In A Field Guide to Getting Lost, award-winning writer Rebecca Solnit blends memoir, philosophy, natural history, and art criticism into a luminous meditation on uncertainty. Through a series of essays, she revisits moments of desire, grief, and wonder that reveal how disorientation can open new paths.

This is not just a book about wandering. It is about what we find when we stop trying to know everything, and allow ourselves to be lost.

Because this homemaker is about to become a detective.
