In autumn, 1849, 14-year-old Janette Riker travels westward to Oregon Territory with her father and two brothers. Before crossing the Rockies, they stop briefly to hunt buffalo. The men leave camp early on the second day … and never return.

Based on actual events, and told in diary format, Stranded is the harrowing account of young Janette Riker's struggle to survive the long winter alone. Facing certain death, and with blizzards, frostbite, and gnawing hunger her only companions, she endures repeated attacks by grizzly bears, wolves, and mountain lions.

Janette rises to each challenge, relying on herself more than she knew possible. Her only comfort comes in writing in her diary, where she shares her fears, her travails, and her dwindling hopes.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR STRANDED



"A riveting read from the very first compelling sentence to the last. A tale of toughness and the drive to survive under the most harrowing emotional and physical circumstances imaginable. A page-turning testament to the darkness as well as the grandness of life. Best of all, it's based on a true story. With each new book, Matthew P. Mayo proves himself more and more a writer you'll eagerly await hearing from again."


--Peter Brandvold, author of To Hell on a Fast Horse





You feel every chilling moment, see the breath of the wolf, hear the growl of the grizzly and you can't stop turning pages. Stranded has the feel of a classic .


--Andrew Vietze, award-winning author of Boon Island





There's enough heart and history, mixed with white-knuckle tension and fear, to keep a reader glued to the pages for many an hour. I've long believed that Matthew P. Mayo is the future of Western fiction. Stranded has convinced me that belief is not only true, but a certainty. This is Mayo's best book yet.


--Larry D. Sweazy, award-winning author of Where I Can See You
