Description
Nyle's life with her grandmother on their Vermont sheep farm is marked by the rhythms of nature until the night of the accident at the Cookshire nuclear power plant. The sudden influx of protective masks, evacuations, and contaminated food disrupts Nyle's world.
As long as the fallout continues to blow in from the East, Nyle, Gran, and the farm can continue on. However, their haven is soon disrupted by the arrival of Ezra Trent and his mother, who take temporary shelter in the back bedroom of Nyle's house. The back bedroom holds a painful history for Nyle, having been the site of her mother's death when she was six years old.
This powerful story is a love story, a coming-of-age tale, and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Karen Hesse's thoughtful and honest portrayal of a difficult subject makes Phoenix Rising a compelling read.
