Some fires have to burn-some thaws have to happen.
Rick Stillwell is a successful fire chief on the Oregon Coast. He has put challenges and trauma behind him and the possibility of slipping into a comfortable middle age is at hand. But all is not well with his true love.
Shannon-holding intense psychic power but lost in a world of trauma from other lifetimes, escaped into her own world, frozen inside and unfilled. Rick has become remote, absorbed in work, and fearful of facing the precipice they have reached together.
Thrown together with the mysterious tracker Steppe because of her uncanny psychic ability to locate those missing in the forest, Shannon finds herself on a powerful journey of self discovery as Rick fights the wildfires raging through California. Their separate but powerfully linked journeys are laced with the elements around them - forests, ice and wildfire, as the three are thrown together on the fire-scarred slopes in a climax that tests the fiber and resolve of each.
About the same length as The Notebook and with similar tenderness, this is a woman's novel and is bolder- a lean and relentless narrative that examines fate, bondage, the human connection to spirit, and the transformative power of sex.
