About MONTANA
Foreign correspondent Lola Wicks is livid. She’s been downsized from her Kabul posting. Her editor reassigns her to a stateside suburban beat formerly the province of interns. When she arrives in Montana for some R&R at a friend’s cabin, her friend is nowhere in sight. Even as she unravels her friend’s terrible fate, Lola Wicks joins many Americans in learning the hard lessons of a fraught economy – and that human bonds matter more than fleeting career success.
