Wander: A Novel

"From the beginning, a sense of foreboding jumps from the pages of Wander . . . a quick read filled with intrigue and suspense." —The Denver Post

Winner of the Nancy Pearl Book Award for Best Book of Fiction (Literary/Mainstream) from the Pacific Northwest Writers Association

Set in the 1980s in the rural community of Bidarkee Bay, Alaska, a fictional area the size of a small state with a population of barely 20,000, Wander is the story of Patrice "Pete" Nash, a young broadcast reporter who finds herself facing the winter alone after her husband, Nate, accepts a job on "the slope." As Pete pursues the next big breaking news story, she strikes up a friendship with the new guy in town, the Ivy League-educated Ren, who recites poetry and lives in the family-owned, vacant inn. Their friendship offers a glimpse of a different kind of life—one that seems to Pete to offer everything marriage to the country-raised Nate does not. But unbeknown to Pete, Ren has come to Alaska for his own dark reasons—to end his life. By the time, Nate returns home, their lives have been irrevocably changed. One man is dead, two others missing and a third forever lost to them.

"If you are tired of novels about urban yuppies, curl up with Lori Tobias's story, set in oh so very rural Alaska . . . fresh and fast moving." —Sandra Scofield, author of Swim

"Lori Tobias has crafted a compelling narrative of an Alaska where survival is a skill and deceit is an art." —Mark Wolf, coauthor of Over Time: Coach Katte on Basketball and Life
