Lost and alone, deep in a remote area of a mountainous land, eleven year old Elizabeth will learn about terror. On this night she will come face to face with demons, both real and imagined-a succession of torments that would challenge the sanity of anyone, much less a young girl like Elizabeth. As events quickly spiral out of control and the night becomes more and more surreal, Elizabeth will have to look deep within herself to find the strength she will need just to survive until morning. Will she have what it takes to escape this nightmare?

Something remarkable is happening in our cities and towns. Due to a confluence of changes in laws, attitudes, and population distribution over the last several decades, native wildlife has been able to establish itself in some unexpected places. Counterintuitively, many of our more adaptable wild animals actually prefer the urban environment and are living there because of the bountiful amounts of food, water, and shelter that it contains. Where there are people, there is abundance! Of course, these new developments are not without problems. Wild animals can quickly make the transition from intriguing novelty to irritating pest when their interests and ours begin to collide. But overall, this is a fascinating transition which provides readily accessible and often more tolerant and observable wildlife than can be found in most wilderness areas. This book contains just a sampling of what can be discovered in your own backyard!
