Miss J | 2 comments I think her father convinces her (the girl is aged about 8 at the start) that it's the end of the world, and they have to live off the land in a cabin.

The story passes over years several years until the girl is about 15 and meets a man who also seems to live in the woods. In the end she finds her way out of the woods and back to her mother and family.

The book came out in about 2016.

Our Endless Numbered Days by Claire Fuller (according to Amazon it was published in 2015)
Peggy Hillcoat is eight years old when her survivalist father, James, takes her from their home in London to a remote hut in the woods and tells her that the rest of the world has been destroyed. Deep in the wilderness, Peggy and James make a life for themselves. They repair the hut, bathe in water from the river, hunt and gather food in the summers and almost starve in the harsh winters. They mark their days only by the sun and the seasons.
When Peggy finds a pair of boots in the forest and begins a search for their owner, she unwittingly begins to unravel the series of events that brought her to the woods and, in doing so, discovers the strength she needs to go back to the home and mother she thought she’d lost.
After Peggy's return to civilization, her mother learns the truth of her escape, of what happened to James on the last night out in the woods, and of the secret that Peggy has carried with her ever since.
