Alaska, 1970: growing up here is like nowhere else. Ruth wants to be remembered by her grieving mother. Dora wishes she was invisible to her abusive father. Alyce is staying at home to please her parents. Hank is running away for the sake of his brothers. Four very different lives are about to become entangled. Because if we don't save each other, how can we begin to save ourselves? Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock's extraordinary, stunning debut is both moving, and deeply authentic. These intertwining stories of love, tragedy, wild luck, and salvation on the edge of America's Last Frontier introduce a writer of rare and wonderful talent.

Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock was born and raised in Alaska, where she still currently lives. She spent many years fishing commercially with her family and as a reporter for Alaska Public Radio stations, where she was also the host and producer of Independent Native News.

Her debut novel, The Smell of Other People's Houses won the Alaskana Award from the Alaska library Association and was nominated for the William C. Morris Award in 2016 (YALSA). It was also shortlisted for the Carnegie medal and nominated for the Guardian Prize, among other accolades.

Hitchcock's second novel, Everyone Dies Famous in A Small Town, will be published in Spring 2021.
