Recently escaped from an abusive marriage, her children abducted by their father, Hannah Nyala turns for physical and spiritual survival to self-taught tracking in the Majove Desert and eventually joins a National Park Service search-and-rescue team: "To walk alongside signs on the ground, continually moving only towards the hope that the one I seek will be found in time - that's the kind of tracking I do best." But overshadowing Nyala's experience as in increasingly capable tracker is the fact that she herself is a tracked woman. For her, the ability to see a "footprint in soft grass outside a bedroom window" becomes a matter of survival.
Nyala's passionate immersion in the art and science of tracking leads to the first safe place Nyala and her children have known. 'Point Last Seen' is a wholly original account of one woman's life and an intriguing glimpse into the meaning and power of following footprints.
