Learn moreWhen Ned Giles is orphaned as a teenager, he heads West, hoping to leave his troubles behind by joining the 1932 Great Apache Expedition on their search for the young son of a wealthy Mexican landowner who was kidnapped by wild Apaches. But the expedition’s goal becomes compromised when they encounter a wild Apache girl in a Mexican jail cell, victim of a Mexican massacre of her tribe that has left her orphaned and unwilling to eat or speak.

“A captivating tale.”
“A literary, but accessible tale…beautifully told.”
“Fergus makes unforgettable characters move against vivid landscapes in this laudable encore.”
“History, romance, and enough adventure to make us wish by the closing chapter that the story didn't have to end quite yet.”
“The Wild Girl is a tragic life seen through the prism of time, hearbreak and distance, and the light has been refracted into something poignant and spiritual.”
