Breaking Wild by Diane Les Becquets

Breaking Wild
In the Northwestern wilds of Colorado, Amy Raye decides to leave her fellow elk hunters, preferring the peace and quiet of bow hunting alone. She gets her shot and then tracks the wounded elk into even more remote areas, coming up against unanticipated dangers. When Amy Raye fails to return to camp, Pru Hathaway and her search and rescue dog, Kona, are called in to try and find her, but snowstorms halt their exploration. Despite freezing temperatures and clues pointing to Amy Raye's demise, Pru believes she is alive and is determined to find her and to find out more about her mysterious and perplexing life.

Told from the alternating perspectives of Amy Raye and Pru, frustration and tension builds quickly as readers are aware of how close and yet how far away Pru is from discovering what happened to Amy Raye. Flashbacks provide in-depth details into each woman's tragic past and how they both have arrived at their current situations, creating immensely complex and yet sympathetic characters who have already endured a great deal. Breaking Wild is a nail biting adventure, showing how far a person can go to survive and just how brutal nature can be.
