Initially rescued by Alex and then Tom, Ellie is kidnapped by some very nasty adults who see her as a meal ticket. She hates camping, and it’s not like she hasn’t got good reason to be a little pissy anyway. Her dad’s KIA in Iraq, her mother split years back, and Ellie’s now being cared for by her grandfather, Jack, who might have the patience of a saint, but cut the kid a break. Oh, and all of a sudden, every dog is her new best friend.Įllie Cranford: sullen, uncooperative, a trifle whiny, a kid Alex has to keep herself from slapping silly. Much more to the point, like the dogs, she is able to detect the bloated roadkill stink of the Changed. After the Zap, Alex gets her sense of smell back in spades, a super-sense that also allows her to intuit emotions and, on one occasion, catch a glimmer of what goes on inside the mind of a wolf. As it happens, she’s also got her dad’s service Glock, just in case she opts out of a return.
She intends to honor her parents’ last wishes and scatter their ashes from Mirror Point on Lake Superior. As the novel opens, Alex has run off on what might well be a one-way backpacking trek through the Waucamaw Wilderness in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. After two years of failed chemotherapy, radiation, and experimental regimens, Alex has decided to call the shots for a change. Suckier still, Alex carries a monster in her head: an inoperable brain tumor that’s stolen her sense of smell and many of her memories, especially those of her parents.
