Travel Guide

Crested Glen

A small and fictional settlement in Lancaster Pennsylvania. Fictional of course for what happens in the novel but a good example of a normal everyday American town devastated by one of their own going missing. And the struggles of having to come to terms with it all when she returns to them

Lily is kept in the basement of a log cabin in the woods. A cabin she eeven describes herself as smart and cosy. Where she lives however is the basement,a cold dark space, a prison where she cowers with her daughter, noticing every sound, trying to guess the mood of her captor and trying to survive another day.

Coming home after eight years after such trauma must be….well it’s unimaginable. Lily is the outsider in familiar surroundings which aren’t familiar anymore. Her sister, her boyfriend at the time, her father, family dynamics, friends have all changed. The police want to question her, nurses want to examine her. Lily lives inside her own head to protect herself and she struggles to adapt. Her captor is still out there and she knows where he is and who he is.
