Kim Heacox, author of the National Outdoor Book Award-winning novel Jimmy Bluefeather, returns with a new, brilliant novel about family love and the lengths one will go to protect it. The small town of Strawberry Flats sits on a remote Alaska coast, peacefully left to itself?until controversial plans for a road and a bridge threaten to upend everything. Former trapper Salt d'Alene never thought he'd find himself in the midst of such a dispute, but he'll do anything to provide the best care for his son Solomon, recently diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. Eleven-year-old Kes Nash just wants her father?back from war in Afghanistan?to be normal again. And circling the perimeter of the town is a wolf, Silver, and his pack, quietly watching. Told from three alternating perspectives, On Heaven's Hill is a vividly powerful story about rediscovering hope and finding new life in the aftermath of trauma. Filled with humor and compassion, it depicts the best of America, a place composed of wildness and kindness.
