Point Last Seen offers a harrowing account of what it means to be hunted and never feel quite safe. Hannah Nyala grew up in rural Mississippi, tracking animals through the woods to shoo them away from hunters' guns. Raised by increasingly religious parents, she jumped from their arms into a suffocating marriage with a man whose escalating violence rocked her life and threatened their children. Her escape from him is temporary and tainted--he repeatedly abducts the children--but allows her to polish nascent skills as a tracker on rescue teams in the national parks. Her lucid, absorbing tracking stories anchor the book. Sown between or within them are frustratingly fragmented sketches of children and family and continuing threats from her ex-husband. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Library Journal
In this extraordinary book, Nyala leads the reader down two interwoven trails. On one trail, she explains in exquisite prose the skills required to be a tracker, locating those lost in the wilderness. Her two main stories of real-life tracking rescues grab the reader like the best compelling fiction. The second trail in her book is rather disquieting to follow. Here she describes her life as a battered wife and then mother. The accounts of her attempts to get legal assistance, to find her kidnapped children, and to avoid physical attacks from her husband and his hired thugs are quite unsettling to read. This book belongs in nature collections because of its captivating descriptions of trackers and tracking, but it also belongs in social science and woman's collections because of Nyala's triumphs over such profound abuse. Highly recommended. [BOMC and Quality Paperback selections.]?Nancy Moeckel, Miami Univ. Libs., Oxford, Ohi.
