| Summary: | Ash gets on a Greyhound bus to the place Bly was last seen: Snowflake, Arizona. Six thousand feet up in the wide red desert, Ash meets Mona; her goat, Socrates; her dog, Cooper; and finds stepbrother Bly, too. In their ramshackle homes, the walls lined with tinfoil, Mona and her neighbors are all sick. But this isn't any ordinary sickness: modern life has poisoned them, and when Ash too falls ill, the doctor's response is, "It's all in your mind." Meanwhile, as Ash lives through a cycle of illness and recovery and loss, the world beyond is succumbing to its own affliction: a breakdown of civilization only distantly perceived by Ash and the isolated residents of Snowflake, from which there may or may not be a chance for recovery. This humane and thoughtful novel is about resilience, trust, family, and love, when all seems lost. |
