Summary
From award-winning and best-selling author Jewell Parker Rhodes comes a powerful coming-of-age survival tale set during a devastating wild fire.
Haunted by a tragic fire that killed her parents and best friend, Addy has grown up in the Bronx with her grandmother, who enrols her in a summer wilderness program. There, she joins five other city kids of colour to spend a summer out West.
Deep in the forest, the kids learn new skills: camping, hiking, rock-climbing and more. They overcome their suspicion of their white guides and mentors. Most importantly, they learn to depend upon each other for companionship and survival.
Then comes the great Camp Fire of 2018, and Addy comes face-to-face with her destiny.
Remembering her origins and grandmother's teachings, will Addy be able to use her street smarts, wilderness skills and spiritual intuition to survive?
From New York Times best-selling author Jewell Parker Rhodes, another poignant and gripping story about how the complexities of race and racism in today's world.
