The feature content of this book includes a lot of violence and some language. It is a dark and gritty story that is not for the faint of heart.

A box of chocolates is left on the doorstep of a remote cabin in the Wyoming wilderness. It is a present for the cabin’s owner, a woman who lives there with her young son. The box is a gift from a man she once knew, a man who is now dead.
The woman, whose name is Abby, is startled by the gift, but she is also touched by the gesture. She knows that the man who left the chocolates must have gone to a lot of trouble to find her and to make sure that she got them.
The chocolates are a welcome treat, but they are also a reminder of a past that Abby would rather forget. Savage Run is a novel about love and loss, about hope and despair, about the choices we make that can lead us to ruin or redemption.
Box’s novel is a moving and beautifully written story about the power of love and the strength of the human spirit. It is a book that will stay with you long after you have finished reading it.
