“这是一部引人入胜的荒野悬疑小说，作者是一位处于高峰状态的小说家”（詹妮弗·伊根，普利策奖获奖作品《糖果屋》的作者），《心材》带您踏上扣人心弦的旅程，当一位经验丰富的徒步旅行者在缅因州的阿巴拉契亚小径上神秘失踪时，搜救队与时间赛跑。

在缅因州森林深处，一位经验丰富的阿巴拉契亚小径徒步旅行者失踪了。她是 42 岁的瓦莱丽·吉利斯，在距离目的地 200 英里的地方失踪。瓦莱丽独自一人在荒野中，一边与恶劣天气作斗争，一边努力保持希望，将自己的想法倾注到写给母亲的断断续续、充满诗意的信中。

调查的核心是贝弗利，这位坚定的缅因州狩猎监督员负责寻找瓦莱丽，她领导着地面上的搜索。与此同时，康涅狄格州退休社区的 76 岁观鸟者 Lena 意外地成为了一名侦探。在这些引人入胜的故事之间徘徊，一个谜题浮现，加剧了疯狂的搜索，因为 Valerie 的失踪可能并非偶然。

《心材》是一部“千面宝石，充满悬念、令人心醉、温柔，然后治愈心灵”（Megan Majumdar，纽约时报畅销书《A Burning》的作者），讲述了一位迷路徒步旅行者的冒险经历，并动人地呈现了每个角色的内心旅程。

这个谜题引发了更大的问题，关于我们迷失的多种方式，以及我们如何找到自己。从本质上讲，《心材》是一部救赎小说，写于巨大的文学抱负和爱中。

';A riveting wilderness suspense novel by a novelist at the height of her powers' (Jennifer Egan, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of The Candy House), Heartwood takes you on a gripping journey as a search and rescue team race against time when an experienced hiker mysteriously disappears on the Appalachian Trail in Maine.

In the heart of the Maine woods, an experienced Appalachian Trail hiker goes missing. She is forty-two-year-old Valerie Gillis, who has vanished 200 miles from her final destination. Alone in the wilderness, Valerie pours her thoughts into fractured, poetic letters to her mother as she battles the elements and struggles to keep hoping.

At the heart of the investigation is Beverly, the determined Maine State Game Warden tasked with finding Valerie, who leads the search on the ground. Meanwhile, Lena, a seventy-six-year-old birdwatcher in a Connecticut retirement community, becomes an unexpected armchair detective. Roving between these compelling narratives, a puzzle emerges, intensifying the frantic search, as Valerie's disappearance may not be accidental.

Heartwood is a ';gem of a thousand facetssuspenseful, transporting, tender, and ultimately soul-mending,' (Megan Majumdar, New York Times bestselling author of A Burning) that tells the story of a lost hiker's odyssey and is a moving rendering of each character's interior journey.

The mystery inspires larger questions about the many ways in which we get lost, and how we are found. At its core, Heartwood is a redemptive novel, written with both enormous literary ambition and love.
