The last time Ree saw her father, he didn't bring money but promised he'd be back soon with a paper sack of cash and a truckload of delights. Since he left, she's had to look after her mother - sedated and losing her looks - and her two brothers. This is a tale of love, heartbreak and resilience in the lonely wastes of the American Midwest.

Review of "Winter's Bone" on 'Storygraph'

A beautifully written, raw tale of family and survival. I didn't expect to love this book as much as I did. The prose is gorgeous. A short book that packs a hell of a punch.
