FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

A lyrical and heartfelt collection by an award-winning writer that connects the lives of young people from small towns in Alaska and the American west. Each story is unique, yet universal.In this book, the impact of wildfire, a wayward priest, or a mysterious disappearance ricochet across communities, threading through stories. Here, ordinary actions such as ice skating or going to church reveal hidden truths. One choice threatens a lifelong friendship. Siblings save each other. Rescue and second chances are possible, and so is revenge. On the surface, it seems that nothing ever happens in these towns. But Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock shows that underneath that surface, teenagers' lives blaze with fury, with secrets, and with love so strong it burns a path to the future.

Somehow Gina had gotten roped into taking her dad''s girlfriend''s kid to the pond. She''d only relented because it was minus twenty outside and Poppy had looked horrified at the idea. Her dad''s getting a new girlfriend had given Gina''s anger a whole new lease on life. Until recently, she''d thought it had been waning, but mostly it just smoldered inside her rib cage. It was exhausting, being herself, fighting so hard all the time. She had been almost ready to just give up and let it all go.
