Description

Ash's life has been marked by constant change, but when her stepbrother Bly goes missing, she sets out to find him. Her search takes her to Snowflake, Arizona, where she discovers a community living 6,000 feet high in the desert, suffering from environmental illnesses. As Ash navigates this new world, she learns about resilience, trust, family and love.

As Ash's own health begins to decline, she faces a harsh reality: her condition is dismissed by doctors who attribute it to mental illness. But as she delves deeper into the lives of the Canaries, she uncovers a more sinister truth - one that challenges our understanding of health and the world around us.

This thought-provoking novel spans seven years, tracing Ash's journey from despair to hope. With its humane and deeply thoughtful portrayal of a world pushed to the brink, Snowflake, Az is a powerful exploration of the human condition.
