Hoping to end the cycle of foster care and group homes, Lily Bushwold found the antidote: a teaching job in Cochabamba, Bolivia. As soon as she could steal enough cash for the plane, she was on it. But the gig falls through. Lily stays in Bolivia, bonding with other girls at the local hostel. Then she meets Omar, who abandoned his life as a hunter in a remote jungle village to try his hand at city life. When a family tragedy occurs, Lily follows Omar to Ayachero... and a ruthless world of lawless poachers, bullheaded missionaries, and indigenous tribes driven to the brink of extinction. -- adapted from jacket
