The End of the Wild
Nicole Helget
Fern’s story is set in a town confronting the possible return of industry through fracking. She cares deeply about her forest and fights to protect it, while others do not share her concern. The novel places environmental protection alongside poverty, family, and the question of where someone belongs. As fracking threatens the forest and promises economic change for a tired town, the story raises difficult questions without offering simple answers.
