Survival Instincts by Jen Waite

3 1/2 stars
Grandmother, mother and preteen daughter head off for a getaway weekend to reconnect but what starts out as a walk in the winter wonderland ends up in being held captive in an abandoned cabin.
If they can keep their calm, use their wits and hope their survival instincts take hold, they just might get out of there alive. A few aspects of living with mental illness play into this story and also the once powerless women who have now used their past to deal with the future. The moral of this story is never underestimate a mother's love or her desire to protect her child.
