Yes it is. It is based on a girl who lived on that island by herself for 18-20 years. Little is known about this women. The island is not far away from Los Angeles. The woman was known as "The Lost Woman of San Nicolas" She is buried on a hill near the Santa Barbara Mission. Just read the introduction and author's note. Hope that helps :)
