Nina in the Wilderness by Sarah Aldridge
'Nina, aged 17, the sole survivor of a plane crash in a remote region of the Amazon jungle, suffers not only from the trauma of the wreck and abandonment in the wilderness but also from the shattering of her life by the loss of her parents. Annie, daughter of two famous people who were once principals in a flamboyant love affair, has made a success as an independent business woman but is uncertain about the meaning and direction of her life. She finds herself caught between two exacting problems: her own response to what Nina has come to mean to her; and the resolution of a situation that threatens her father's reputation as the premier American poet of his generation. Passionate love between Nina and Annie is at the heart of this novel, but it also portrays the love that inspires the devotion of true friendship.' (Summary from the back cover.)
I've stated in other Aldridge reviews that I so enjoy her writing style and it is true for this novel as well. She a great ability to get deeply into the insecurities and frailties of the human mind and does so again here.
Once you start reading her novels you won't be able to stop. Definitely a keeper.

On the hot meter this was 3; on the love meter it was a 9.

**Remember - if you want your favorite authors to keep writing for us they have to be able to earn a living doing it. If at all possible try to buy the book NEW. I know it sucks but if you're not going to keep it in your collection put it in the recycle bin to make another book.**
