About this listen
An urgent, emotional thriller: "Dramatic...explores the power of grief...that through loss there can be hope for the future" (Library Journal).
You—all of you—are sleepwalking through global catastrophe. And I intend to wake you up.
What Emma Caroline Blake has planned at New Hampshire’s Ridgemont Academy is shocking.
Her school blames a heartbreaking tragedy in her family.
Her best friends point to her most recent social media.
Her teachers, even her father, say it’s a drastic cry for help.
But Emma doesn’t want help. She wants to make a difference. Now. Today. Not tomorrow.
She’s going to walk through fire to change the world.
