A thirteen-year-old girl and her father live in Forest Park, the enormous nature preserve in Portland, Oregon. There they inhabit an elaborate cave shelter, bathe in a nearby creek, store perishables at the water’s edge, use a makeshift septic system, tend a garden, even keep a library of sorts. Once a week, they go to the city to buy groceries and otherwise merge with the civilized world. But one small mistake allows a backcountry jogger to discover them, which derails their entire existence, ultimately provoking a deeper flight.
Inspired by a true story and told through the startlingly sincere voice of a young narrator, Caroline, Peter Rock'sMy Abandonment is a riveting journey into life at the margins, and a mesmerizing tale of survival and hope.

Review:

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR"MY ABANDONMENT""" "Peter Rock's "My Abandonment "is an electrically charged, bone-deep and tender tale of loss and partial redemption. Surreal, haunting, elegiac." --James Ellroy "This beautiful, strange novel takes us into the foreign country where those called homeless are at home, the city is wilderness, and the greater wilderness lies beyond. Fascinating and moving, it tells with great tenderness how human love goes wrong."--Ursula K. Le Guin
