17yo Caprice experiences many emotions as her life seems to be changing more rapidly than should be expected. Her older brother has returned home from rehab, she is experiencing a new love, and she is worried about her future education. In the middle of all of this chaos, her small town is forced to recon with a devastating wildfire that literally tears apart the town and the lives of those she loves. How will Caprice find the strength to endure all that her heart and mind are burdened with and expected to survive?
This is a simple and sweet story of how a family comes together after tragedy hits- and hits hard! The story is not as enticing as most young adult novels. I kept waiting for something exciting to happen, but soon realized it was just a simple story of a young girl overcoming her struggles. Ethnicity unknown or not explored
