Jamie’s Awakenings

About the Book

Pulled from a relaxed summer and playing baseball in Louisville, Kentucky, fifteen-year-old Jamie Hanna faces two weeks with a father he has not seen in two years. A once-in-a-lifetime floatplane fishing venture ends in a tragic crash. The sole teenage survivor lies injured and unconscious on a remote northern Minnesota lake shoreline. The dense fog thwarts rescue. A terrorizing mountain lion creates a life-or-death crisis. The divorced parents expose raw feelings during their son’s search. The powerful emotions unite an entire community into action.
