?Stephen Colbert, Emmy-Award winning host of The Late Show

?Publishers Weekly

“A sparkling, atmospheric mystery from a bright new literary voice. The Refuge will haunt you long after you finish the last page.”
?Jessica Goodman, NYT bestselling author of The Counselors

“A deeply atmospheric page-turner that will transport you into a completely different world. The Refuge is a beautifully written and chilling thriller.”
?Olivia Muenter, USA Today bestselling author of Little One and Such a Bad Influence

“Carly Hillman's The Refuge is a masterful literary thriller debut. At once an investigation of how a young girl appeared mysteriously at the Amarant wildlife resort with no family to claim her, The Refuge is also an ode to majestic beauty of the American Northwest, the profound and sometimes questionable depths a mother will go to in order to protect her child, and the healing power of found family. With lyrical prose and an intricate mystery, The Refuge is reminiscent of Tana French and Miranda Cowly Heller, making Hillman a wildly talented writer to watch.”
?Ashley Woo, author of Wildwood

“The Refuge is a riveting thriller about trust, belonging, and how well we really know the people closest to us. It's a suspenseful page-turner and a heartfelt coming-of-age story that will move you deeply. I couldn't put it down.”
?Ali Jaffe Ramis, founder of The Late Show Book Club
