Nora & her dad take a trip on her bday, also the anniversary of her mother‘s passing from a shooting, to a canyon to hike. Their plans change from fun to terror as the unexpected happens and suddenly Nora is fighting for her life, alone. This story, in verse is a gripping survival story in the desert, a prickly painful processing of grief, & a sweet heartfelt story of hope beyond our worst nightmares. Beautiful, lyrical, poignant, I was in tears.
