Fiction

“What happens when the Edenic protection of a national park is visited with a destructive fire of biblical proportions? In his first novel, Doug Campbell gives us a window on the lives of those most overturned in the calamity, the animals . . . [They] must make . . . decisions about their future, always painfully aware of what humans are doing . . . [Conflict erupts as] prophetic omens drive the animals on a quest to find sacred space and safety.”
