A Spine Chilling, Heart Pounding Race against a Wildfire to save the life a small child! A work of fiction that is plausible and powerful that read as if it was ripped from the headlines...and one that will stay with you long after you close the cover.
If that brief summary of this book doesn't get you attention, I don't what know what suspense thriller will! This book had everything that I was looking for in a snap me out of myself read. This complex and vividly rich book read like the best action movie.
What lengths will a mother go to in order to find the money for her child's life saving operation? This is the question that haunts Melissa as she heads off to fight baby wildfire while facing the crush of medical bills and true love marriage that has been collateral damage to the pressures of parenthood. But she and her best friend and Annie's 'Aunt' True have a plan that may rescued them all. On a normal white water raft trip downriver, True will ferry money for some unsavory characters - no questions asked -and return with her fee for services! One trip, in and out, done and dusted. For this experienced river guide this should not be an issue, right? But add to this Vivian and Emmett Wu...a single mom who has booked this trip as a bonding moment for her and her son who has just discovered his true self and everything takes on a powerful new dimension. This trip is designed to be not just a memory maker for the Wus but a powerful way to highlight acceptance for both mother and son and provide a chance for both to discover what they are truly capable of...and boy did they get this. But none of them, even the wildfire expert Mel, counted on the Flatiron Mt Wildfire and the way it would reveal these tenuous relationships in a brightest & harshest light. Will True find that she and Vivian have a spark of their own? Will Sam, Mel's husband and father of her two little girls, face the demons from his dark childhood and years in the military to conquer them while fighting to keep Annie,his fragile baby girl, and Astor, his little girl that is 8 going on 80, safe in the high mountain? What will this fire reveal about the strength of family, found and blood of identities born and chosen, and of the power of love to fight back the flames and shadows!
An amazing and gripping read that will keep you up with twists and turns that make you hold your breath and characters that will have you longing not just to survive but for a Happily Enough For Right Now.
