Not explicitly. A few times near the middle and end of the book Jess mentions a wolf-dog stalking her camp. Bo and this dog fight and both retain injuries.

Yes and no! :(
Jess finally gets to go home and is safe, but she loses a lot before it can happen. She mentions having nothing to go home to, but wanting to finish her life the way it was. She ends up in another foster home, and has to have a religious funeral for her father who would have hated it. It's bittersweet.

There is no sexual, physical or verbal abuse; however, Jess' father neglects her medical needs and insists that her physical limitations are "all in her head."

There isn't any substance abuse at all in this book, but it is touched on a few times that most of the main cast drinks. Carl, Jess's father, drinks a beer and gives Jess a drink with alcohol in it (she knows about it). Griff drinks a few times, and the cabin Jess finds is reported to have beer in the cabinets.

In addition to the death of Jess' dog, she has to hunt for food. The book describes her hunting, butchering, and eating multiple animals.

Jess' mother died in a car accident before the book started, but it's shown in flashbacks. Jess' father is shot and killed later in the book.

Jess vomits from the smell of her father's corpse after digging up his grave. Nausea is mentioned several times as a reaction to the meat she eats, such as the “squirrel stew†that tasted too gamey.
