1. 1. The White Hot

   

   April, a young mother living in a house of unspoken secrets and constant arguments, copes by numbing herself—until a sudden urge sends her buying a one-way bus ticket and walking away. Her ten-day escape into wilderness and uncertainty becomes an intense, sometimes dangerous search for herself, a reckoning with desire, grief, and the patterns that bind her family. Told as a letter to her daughter, the novel is a lyrical, sharp account of a woman learning what freedom and responsibility might mean.
