So they take a trip to the wilds of Maine hoping to enjoy nature and some alone time for healing.īut the disease isn’t forgiving, and the creature in question is eventually drawn to it. Her husband Andrew loves her and just wants her to be well, but her ever constant need for care wears on him as well. Kate is the one who lives in pain every day of her life. The story isn’t really about the creature itself, but of the creature as a manifestation brought on by the every day horrors of living with a brutal and uncompromising disease. The creature in question doesn’t rear its ugly head until the bitter end, but that's okay. It's a slow development of character for a good two thirds of the story. And in Shea's own words, elements of this story are very personal.
Or as some writing gurus will tell you, write what you know.
I’ll get straight to what I liked about this book, the time and energy Shea put into building character.
