about Frost and Fervor
In this gripping historical survival tale, seventeen-year-old Josephine Wesley faces the ultimate test of resilience when she’s left for dead in the unforgiving Rocky Mountains of the 1860s. After Arapaho raiders destroy her home, kill her father, and kidnap her family, a devastating accident separates Josephine from her captors—leaving her alone in the wilderness with nothing but her will to survive.
From the first harrowing night fighting off wolves and brutal cold, to the discovery of an abandoned cabin that becomes her sanctuary, Josephine’s journey is both a physical and emotional odyssey. As she learns to fish, trap, and cultivate food in the harsh mountain environment, she must also confront her inner demons and develop the mental fortitude to overcome trauma and isolation.
Written by licensed counselor Sally Self, this meticulously researched novel weaves together pulse-pounding adventure with a sensitive exploration of mental health in an era when such struggles went unrecognized. Through Josephine’s encounters with bears, wolves, and the merciless elements, readers witness not just tales of survival, but the birth of resilience and self-discovery.
“Frost And Fervor” transcends the typical survival narrative by delving deep into the psychological challenges of isolation and trauma. As Josephine develops her own coping mechanisms in the wilderness, her story offers timeless insights into human resilience and the healing power of self-reliance. This is more than a tale of survival—it’s a journey of the mind, body, and spirit that will resonate with readers long after the last page.
