The Lightning Within Us
By Mary Emerick
In the tinder-dry summer of 1978, two girls hiked up an Idaho mountain and only one returned. Now, fifteen years later, Lina Hudson lives in isolation on the rim of Hells Canyon in eastern Oregon, ever haunted by a memory.
But a strange and unsigned postcard suggests that perhaps her once best friend is still alive. To know the truth, Lina must return to the town that was destroyed by fire and face the agonizing memories of the people who still live there.
She will not be welcome.
