1956. Kootenai National Forest, Montana. When smokejumper Nathan Garrett perishes in a raging wildfire, his surviving familyâs hopes and happiness turn to ashes.
Now, one year following Nathanâs death, wife, and mother of two, Jolene Garrett, takes her crumbling family to the Morning Star lookout seeking solace through closureâto scatter her husbandâs remains. But something far beyond the reach of their wildest imaginings awaits the Garrett family in the Montana wildernessâsomething more powerful than their anguish and torment. Something that transcends space and time. No telephones. No electricity. No transportation. No escape.
