Without warning, Nyle's modest world fills with protective masks, evacuations, contaminated food, disruptions, and mistrust. Nyle adjusts to the changes. As long as the fallout continues blowing to the East, Nyle, Gran, and the farm can go on. But into this uncertain haven stumble Ezra Trent and his mother, "refugees" from the heart of the accident, who take temporary shelter in the back bedroom of Nyle's house. The back bedroom is the dying room: It took her mother when Nyle was six it stole away her grandfather just two years ago. Now Ezra is back there and Nyle doesn't want to open her heart to him. Too many times she's let people in, only to have them desert her. Karen Hesse's voice and vision are grounded in truth she takes on a nearly unharnessable subject, contains it, and makes it resonate with honesty. Part love story, part coming of age, this is a tour de force by a gifted writer. 650 1 $a Nuclear power plants $x Accidents $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Death $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nuclear power plants $x Accidents $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Death $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l RIPA115 $d 20100708151941.0 $m ripa115 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3BAE261862A311DFAF3CE96BC41A358D 994 $a 02 $b IOSInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
