Описание: Amelia Young, a 9-year-old runaway, encounters an elderly woman named Mary, a former teacher living alone in the woods of Maine. Little did the young girl know that this encounter would be life-changing and impact her in ways she could not imagine, not the least of which is an encounter with a baby moose that entangles her in an urban legend: the Ghost Moose of Maine. While living with Mary, Amelia learns amazing things and experiences both exhilarating and frightening adventures that force her to quickly mature and become a self-sufficient young woman.Amelia's maturity would be of great help when she eventually learns disturbing facts about her family that would impact her young life and result in her meeting someone very special: a girl named Amanda. The girls instantly bond and develop a unique relationship, to the point where they feel as if they have finally found peace and happiness in their own version of Paradise, where they experience challenging adventures that bring them even closer together. However, they are destined to have an earth-shattering experience which proves that life isn't always the way it seems, leaving them to wonder if their lives would ever be normal, or if they'd struggle to find real happiness.Although Mary is by and large self-sufficient, at times she needs to call on her friend and neighbor Joshua for assistance, and he is always more than willing to help. However, he lives over six miles from Mary's cabin, and she and the girls have to rely on themselves when it comes to overcoming the day-to-day challenges of living in the wilderness. Many of the adventures that Amelia, Amanda, and Mary experience in the scenic woods of northern Maine are pleasurable, while others involve dangerous encounters with black bears, wolves, moose, and occasionally unsavory people. Indeed some of those encounters are so dangerous that they barely escape with their lives; and one mysterious encounter is totally unexpected and so shocking that it makes their encounters with wild animals seem like child's play.
