Lucy Jane Bledsoe is an award-winning author of fiction and nonfiction, including the novels A Thin Bright Line and The Big Bang Symphony and the adventure essay collection The Ice Cave. She has traveled the length of the Grand Canyon, skied through Yellowstone National Park, kayaked and hiked in Alaska, and voyaged several times to Antarctica. She lives in Berkeley, California.
In these twelve remarkable stories, the reader journeys from the
remotest inner reaches of Alaska to deceptively calm suburban
neighborhoods to a research station at the bottom of the world. Yet
Lucy Jane Bledsoe's true territory is the wild, uncharted expanse
of the heart. A wise and wonderful collection."" - Kirstin Valdez

post-apocalyptic future, these tales of kick-ass women adventurers
and survivor girls are big-hearted, breathtaking, and profound.

rapt, unable to turn away, with no idea what would happen next."" -
