The Reader's Retreat: The Island by Adrian McKinty | Curated Book & Loose-Leaf Tea Gift Box
An American family's vacation to Australia turns into a fight for survival when Seattle nurse Heather Baxter, her wealthy husband Tom, and his two teenage children visit off-limits Dutch Island. After a tragic vehicular accident leads to a fatal confrontation with the island's tight-knit, insular clan, the family is hunted across the rugged Australian wilderness.
When her husband is captured, Heather must step up as a fierce protector, relying on her instincts, tactical resourcefulness, and medical knowledge to keep her stepchildren alive and evade the relentless local pursuers.
