***Story centers around a family with a college-aged daughter who finds herself mixed up with extream environmentalist fanatics and then dead. The story examines the idea of a "divide" both literally and figuratively. I enjoyed the book. I felt I could relate to the daughter in the way it's easy to get caught up in radical ideas as a young and naive college girl. And also I could relate to the married couple and the way life comes in and "divides". Easy read.

Sometimes this book was difficult to read having been through some trials with my own teenage daughter. I feel very fortunate that mine came through it alive and well. The characters were very real to me in how they all handled the tragedies they were faced with. I think I'm ready to read something light and funny after this one!

A compelling mystery set in the great west by the author of the Horse Whisperer. This is a real page turner.

Loved this book. Better than his "Horse Whisperer"

The story starts out with a dead body; then the rest of the book is the backstory about who that person was and how they ended up where they were found. The characters are well-written -- you feel like you really 'know' eachof them well, and the book moves at a good pace without any long, boring descriptive passages.

This book was a very good read! The author is a great writer and makes one think about some difficult issues.

This book is good, but not as good as The Horsewhisperer. I thought that the author spent too much time on the back history and not enough details at the end.
All in all, the book was good, but I wouldn't put it in my top 20.

Nicholas Evans keeps you in suspense throughout the book. His mind must run in circles all the time in order to figure out his plots and his endings. Incredible writer.

Nicholas Evans applies his skills to mystery and realities of divorce and teen-aged children. Very refreshing look at the way things are and how people deal with them and each other.

I agree wholeheartedly. A wonderful moving story.
Good Book but was a little drawn out until about three quarters thru the book.
I thought this was a great story. Very hard to put down!
One great read. Could not put it down. The author as usual has written to keep you interested. Love the way Nicholas Evans writes.
On a crystalline Montana morning, two backcountry skiers find the body of a young woman embedded in the ice of a remote mountain creek. She's Abbie Cooper, a brilliant college student on the run from the FBI and charges of murder. But what were the events that led this golden child so tragically astray?
Very good condition.I read it in a day.
