"Isabel will steal your heart with her hopeful spirit." -Kerry Chaput, author of Daughter of the King 1934. While her mother struggles to make ends meet and her older brother serves with the CCC at Yosemite, she manages the household and comforts her younger sister with stories about an idyllic imaginary world. Isabel longs to escape her squalid San Francisco neighborhood.
Inspired by Enid Michael, the park's only female ranger-naturalist, Isabel hikes, learns new skills, and discovers an inner strength she never knew she had. Desperate for a taste of freedom, she takes matters into her own hands-with tragic consequences.Distraught, she flees to Yosemite, where she falls in love with its majestic beauty. But even as she relishes her independence, she hides her grief, along with a terrible secret she fears will destroy relations with her family.
