I Am the Cage

Allison Sweet Grant

Nineteen-year-old Elisabeth has withdrawn to a cabin in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, seeking anonymity and distance from the painful medical experiences of her childhood. During a severe winter storm, the town loses power and she reluctantly accepts help from Noah, her young sheriff neighbor. The novel moves between the snowbound present in 1999 and memories beginning with a traumatic event when Elisabeth was eleven, as she confronts her isolation, self-protection, and past abuse.
