Kim Heacox, author of the National Outdoor Book Award-winning novel
Jimmy Bluefeather, returns with a new, brilliant novel about family
love and the lengths one will go to protect it. "A sprawling novel
brimming with suspense, ideas and unforgettable characters, On
Heaven's Hill paints a captivating group portrait of a rebel
alliance discovering their true selves in America's most glorious
natural landscape. This book will appeal equally to aging idealists
reared on Edward Abbey and adventurous kids hooked on Gary Paulsen.
Oh, and it's laugh-out-loud funny, too." —Mark Adams, New York
Times bestselling author of Tip of the Iceberg and Turn Right at
Machu Picchu "Kim Heacox poses the age-old question—what price
progress?—with new urgency in On Heaven’s Hill, his compelling
novel of an Alaskan hamlet whose remote location is no defense
against big-money development. All that stands in its way is a pack
of wolves and the twelve-year-old girl determined to save them.
Reminiscent of John Nichols' The Milagro Beanfield War, Heacox
deftly weaves lyrical tributes to the healing power of nature with
a fast-paced plot that builds to a heart-pounding conclusion."
—Gwen Florio, author of Silent Hearts and the Lola Wicks series
The small town of Strawberry Flats sits on a remote Alaska coast,
peacefully left to itself—until controversial plans for a road
and a bridge threaten to upend everything. Former trapper Salt
d’Alene never thought he’d find himself in the midst of such a
dispute, but he’ll do anything to provide the best care for his
son Solomon, recently diagnosed with muscular dystrophy.
Eleven-year-old Kes Nash just wants her father—back from war in
Afghanistan—to be normal again. And circling the perimeter of the
town is a wolf, Silver, and his pack, quietly watching. Told from
three alternating perspectives, On Heaven’s Hill is a vividly
powerful story about rediscovering hope and finding new life in the
aftermath of trauma. Filled with humor and compassion, it depicts
the best of America, a place composed of wildness and kindness.
