Publisher's summary

Escaping abduction and retreating into the vast wilderness, a pregnant woman fights against harsh elements - and battles her inner demons - in order to survive.

Recently separated from her cheating husband and unaware of a budding pregnancy, Georgia Charles travels to the Yukon Territory to spend a month with a childhood friend. Suddenly kidnapped by bank robbers, she manages to flee into the wild and find shelter in an abandoned cabin - but minimal skills and an impending childbirth threaten her survival.

Set in the harsh winter of British Columbia’s Last Frontier, Winter’s Captive is the riveting story of a woman’s incredible journey of survival and path to empowerment against all odds. As the unimaginable adversity and unrelenting conditions test not only the strength of her character, but also her will to live, will Georgia find a way to save herself - and her unborn child?

Strength and courage

This book is definitely about a woman digging deep and finding reserves of strength that she didn't know she had. Going through mental and physical hardship, Being kidnapped and getting away finding a place to stay through the cold weather. The narration is good and the overall i liked this book. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer

One woman’s story of survival

Great book! This story is of one woman’s discovery of inner strength and survival in the wilderness. Reeling from her husband walking out on her for his pregnant secretary...then discovering that she was pregnant, Georgia decides to spend a month with a friend in the Yukon. She doesn’t count on getting kidnapped by escaping robbers. She doesn’t count on eluding the robbers, only to find herself lost in the wilderness just before a snowstorm. Fortunately, Georgia stumbles upon a well-stocked cabin. As the brutal winter sets in, can Georgia survive the loneliness and primitive living...and childbirth?
While the story focuses on Georgia, we do get snippets of life, while she’s missing, of her loved ones...and witchy MIL and douchie ex. I really enjoyed this story and narration and looking forward to the next book.
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

It was ok

I like the storyline but it lacked in execution. Sounded monotonous at times, not sure if it was because of the narration or the writing. I think I was expecting a stronger lead character with more visual descriptors. It’s an ok read to pass the time. But not one I’ll re-read.

Winter’s Captive

A story of inner strength, determination and will is found in this book. I cannot imagine going through what happened in this book and the struggle it took to stay alive as well as flourish in these conditions. Definitely a very inspiring and gripping tale. I really enjoyed this book.

Heart-warming!

Georgia Charles had just discovered that she's pregnant with her cheating, soon-to-be ex-husband's child when she finds herself kidnapped by bank robbers. She manages to escape and finds refuge in a remote cabin. Stuck in the cabin during the harsh winter, Georgia goes on a journey of self-discovery and comes out stronger, wiser, able to take responsibility for her past, and well-equipped to face the future.

This is an inspiring, fast-paced, well-written story full of twists and turns.

The narrator Kathleen Li was a pleasure to listen to- she did a fantastic job breathing life into all the characters.

I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.
