Set in the 1980s in the rural community of Bidarkee Bay, Alaska, (a fictional area the size of a small state with a population of barely 20,000), Wander is the story of Patrice “Pete” Nash, a young broadcast reporter who finds herself facing the winter alone after her husband, Nate, accepts a job on “the slope".

As Pete pursues the next big breaking news story, she strikes up a friendship with the new guy in town, the Ivy League-educated Ren, who recites poetry and lives in the family-owned, vacant inn. Their friendship offers a glimpse of a different kind of life - one that seems to Pete to offer everything marriage to the country-raised Nate does not. But unbeknown to Pete, Ren has come to Alaska for his own dark reason - to end his life. By the time Nate returns home, their lives have been irrevocably changed. One man is dead, two others are missing, and a third is forever lost to them.

I just finished Wander and I have to say I was almost brought to tears! It resembled so much my time spent in Alaska after my family had been ripped apart by the floods. Lost, desperate and unable to continue the life I once knew, I leaned heavily on Starla, a waitress at a local diner. She was covered head to toe in burn marks, but her soul was the softest I'd ever met.
But what really drives Wander home is the narration. As soon as I heard Oskan's voice slide seductively through my headphones, I knew that this would be a one-setting listen. I felt like my heart has been taken on a journey without my body ever leaving this cement slab I rest on when the weather is favorable. Without a doubt, I would listen to May Oskan recite the ingredients on any number of chemical-compound-based military weapons. PLEASE NARRATE MORE, MAY!

Lovely story, wonderfully narrated!
