Winter's Bone

Book • 2006
Daniel Woodrell's 'Winter's Bone' tells the story of Ree Dolly, a 16-year-old girl in the Ozark Mountains who is struggling to care for her mentally ill mother and younger brothers.

When her father disappears after putting their house up for bond, Ree must navigate a dangerous criminal underworld to find him and save her family from homelessness.

The novel paints a stark and unflinching portrait of poverty, violence, and the bonds of family in a rural American community.

Ree's resilience and determination drive the narrative, as she confronts drug dealers, meth cooks, and her own extended family to uncover the truth.

'Winter's Bone' explores themes of survival, loyalty, and the sacrifices people make to protect those they love.
