Ree has never known anything but the poverty of the Ozarks and wishes to leave it behind her. Unfortunately, that may never happen after her father puts their house and property up as his bail bond and then vanishes into thin air.
Attempting to raise her younger brothers and care for her mentally ill mother, the house is all they have, so young Ree embarks on a desperate and brutal search to find her father. But it's not an easy task. The family clan is tight-lipped yet they hold the key to her father's whereabouts.
A novel which truly paints a sad and very accurate portrait of the underbelly of the Missouri Ozarks, Winter' Bone is a harsh, yet heart-wrenching story of how far one would go to keep family together and provided for.
