About this audiobook
Finalist for the 2023 Banff Mountain Book Award for Mountain Fiction and Poetry An Anchorage Daily News Favorite Book of 2023 Kim Heacox, author of the National Outdoor Book Award-winning novel Jimmy Bluefeather, returns with a brilliant novel about family love and the lengths one will go to protect it. The small town of Strawberry Flats sits on a remote Alaska coast, peacefully left to itself-until controversial plans for a road and a bridge threaten to upend everything. Former trapper Salt d'Alene never thought he'd find himself in the midst of such a dispute, but he'll do anything to provide the best care for his son Solomon, recently diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. Eleven-year-old Kes Nash just wants her father-back from war in Afghanistan-to be normal again. And circling the perimeter of the town is a wolf, Silver, and his pack, quietly watching. Told from three alternating perspectives, On Heaven's Hill is a vividly powerful story about rediscovering hope and finding new life in the aftermath of trauma. Filled with humor and compassion, it depicts the best of America, a place composed of wildness and kindness.
