henever the fear spikes in my chest, and I think to myself, man, this is risky—you might break your heart, break a bone, end your career—my inner girlfriend replies, “Well, I guess we’re doing it then, aren’t we?” Yes. Yes we are.

We Were Wilder

A Novel

Get Lost In National Park West

When Imogen “Genny” Jones, a 23-year-old headstrong virologist hears rumors of a vaccine at an abandoned CDC lab, she sets out on a journey to find a cure. Walking 700 miles through the now forbidden wilderness, she struggles to survive ravenous predators, harsh weather, starvation, and sickness. Finding companionship in a savvy feral dog and an orphaned cheetah cub, she also discovers the wonder of the new wild, strength, and peace. Yet, she soon discovers that her world may need a lot more than a cure to a virus and she may not be the hero it needs.

REVIEWS:

*A quick, fun and entertaining read full of adventure, nature, animals, and maybe a spark of a complicated love story? I thoroughly enjoyed following Genny as she traveled through Park West and her own past. Her heart, ingenuity, fierce independence, and spontaneousness make her a joy to get to know.

*Rebecca O’Connor weaves a rich world that is not what it seems, and every time she pulls back another layer, I find myself surprised – awesome because predictability is the death of a good read.

*The author clearly has a passion for animals and nature, and tells an absorbing story. Her expertise in animal training along with her way of weaving suspense and romance make for an exciting adventure. She has a keen insight not only of animal behavior, but of human behavior as well. This was just an excellent read!!
