"The author of South of Superior returns to that same territory and landscape with this story of a woman who, on the verge of losing the land and home that defines her, finds her way to a brighter future when she learns the power of giving to and accepting help from the community around her"-- Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Laurel Hill and her daughter Skye live on Lake Superior, where the local school has classes of just four children, and the nearest hospital is a helicopter ride away. They live frugally, eking out a living with Laurel's patchwork of jobs. When their landlord decides to evict them in favor of a more profitable summer rental without any warning, they are pushed farther to the margins. Suddenly the independence that has defined them is a liability. When a dangerous incident threatens to separate them, Laurel faces an impossible dilemma of keeping her daughter safe while providing for their family. -- adapted from jacket Provided by publisher.
