Summary
Each story in Hitchcock's collection connects the lives of young people from small towns in Alaska and across the American West. From the repercussions of wildfire to the ordinary actions such as ice-skating or going to church, Hitchcock explores fury, secrets, and love so strong it burns a path to the future. -- adapted from jacket
