The second, highly anticipated novel from Carnegie-shortlisted
author Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock. Come on a journey across the rural
American West . . . Meet the teenagers who live in the small towns
across these states, separated by distance, but whose stories are
woven together in the most unexpected of ways. Whether they are
brought together by the spread of wildfire, by the priest who's
moved from state to state or by the hunt for a missing child, these
incredible tales blaze with secrets, rage and love. A novel like no
other, this intricate, intense and beautiful book will take your
breath away. 'A clever and unusual novel . . . powerful.' Sally
Nicholls 'Gorgeous and compelling . . . breathtaking.' Katherine
Webber 'A beautiful literary writer.' The Bookseller 'It's cut like

SHORTLISTED for the CILIP Carnegie Medal and the UKLA Book Award.
Love, tragedy, luck and salvation in the interweaving stories of
four teenagers in this extraordinary 1970s Alaskan set debut novel.
Alaska, 1970: growing up here is like nowhere else. Ruth wants to
be remembered by her grieving mother. Dora wishes she was invisible
to her abusive father. Alyce is staying at home to please her
parents. Hank is running away for the sake of his brothers. Four
very different lives are about to become entangled. Because if we
don't save each other, how can we begin to save ourselves?
Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock's extraordinary, stunning debut is both
moving, and deeply authentic. These intertwining stories of love,
tragedy, wild luck, and salvation on the edge of America's Last
Frontier introduce a writer of rare and wonderful talent.
'Gorgeous.' Spectator 'An exceptional coming of age novel for young
adults - or indeed just adults.' Sunday Times 'Ambitious and
original, this transports the reader effortlessly both in time and
space.' Metro 'This book reaches through the melee of voices in YA;
its smell, or scent, fresh and alluring.' The Independent
'Intoxicating . . . will resonate with readers of all ages.'
Publishers Weekly 'Excellent.' School Library Journal 'A nice and
different read.' Telegraph 'A piercing look at life lived at 40
below.' The Financial Times
