Born and raised in Boulder, Colorado, Essence McKree feels
older than any seventeen-year-old she knows. Ever since
weed was legalized, her mother has been working in a pot
shop, high more often than not. Lately it’s been up to
Essa to care for her nine-year-old sister, Puck. When Essa meets Oliver—a brainy indoor type who’s in town
for the summer—she is cautious at first, distrustful of
the tourist crowd and suspicious of Oliver’s mysterious
past in Chicago. But Puck is charmed and pushes Essa
toward him. Soon Essa finds herself showing Oliver the
Boulder she has forgotten: the mountain parties, the long
hikes…and at Oliver’s urging, the exploration of Buddhism
at the local zendo. When Oliver agrees to accompany Essa on a three-day
survival game in the Rocky Mountains, she feels a
lightness she hasn’t known in a long time. Then she
discovers that Puck has stowed away and followed them into
the wilderness. After spending a night stuck in a mountain
storm, Essa wakes to find Puck missing. Now Essa must rely
on her newfound spiritual strength if she is to save her
sister’s life, and ultimately her own.
