Synopsis: Karana was a young woman when her people decided to leave the island of their home. She got left behind and for years and years she waited, watching for a ship that would take her to her people. This is the story of how she lived and fought her enemies, the wild dogs.
My Review: Amazingly, this book is based on the true story of the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island, which is an island just off the coast of California and south of the Channel Islands. I vaguely remember reading this book when I was younger. It was great to read it again.
