Be Not Far From Me: "The world is not tame."

"The world is not tame."  With these 5 words, Mindy McGinnis takes the reader on quite a journey into the wild.  In Be Not Far From Me the reader meets Ashley, a high school junior who is on her way to a campout in Tennessee's mountains with her friends and boyfriend. When she catches her boyfriend cheating on her in the middle of the night she runs away from the campsite only to fall and injure her foot.  In the morning when she awakes she finds herself without shoes and socks and her foot is in bad shape.  Not only that, but she cannot find the trail back to her friends.  

Ashely is in trouble. She has a major injury and no supplies so she relies on her memories of her camp counselor to guide her.  The same counselor who went missing in these same woods. Ashley must contend with the wildness of nature, predators, and doing what she absolutely has to do in order to survive.

Very graphic descriptions, like a young adult version of Alive and 127 Hours.
