What Should Be Wild

by Julia Fine

Whatever she touches dies. If she touches it again, she can bring it back.  Maisie Cothay has grown up knowing this.  She killed her mother, after all.  She can feel the pull of the forest, the cursed forest into which a few women have disappeared throughout history.   What is the curse of this forest?  Why is her father so worried about her journeying into it? As Maisie grows into a young woman, she decides she can make decisions and finds herself on a quest that could put everyone she has grown to love into serious jeopardy, including herself.

Fine’s debut is dark and mystical.  It begins slowly as the author lays out the foundation of the story and before you realize it the story has buried its roots into you and you cannot put it down or look away from Maisie’s journey.  Teen fans of Alice Hoffman will gladly sink within the pages of this mythical adventure.  Fine has woven romance and a touch of the mystic into a tale of a young woman reaching out to break the bonds of childhood to become her own woman. #harpercollins  #whatshouldbewild  #juliafine
