Aspiring journalist Adrienne and her stepfather travel to Siberia to find a legendary family of Siberian hermits. Disaster strikes, and Adrienne is held captive by the very family about which she planned to write. Irreverent humor brings levity to Adrienne's predicament and plan to escape by seducing the Osinovs' younger son. A suspenseful plot pairs with incisive commentary on the ethics of telling others' stories.

YA
After an unexpected tsunami hits the California coast, sixteen-year-old outcast Denver finds herself stranded at sea on a tiny boat with the cool kids, including her ex–best friend, Abigail. Through flashbacks, readers learn the history of Denver and Abigail's relationship and its ultimate demise. Familiar high-school drama is elevated by the story's survival premise and dark humor, and by Denver's witty, sardonic voice.
