"A gritty, character-led, YA novel with a relatable and easy to root for protagonist." ~ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards

How do you survive the worst thing that can ever happen?

When Katie McCabe's dad gets sick and is hospitalised, she's sent to live with her uncle in a strange town. But within days of arriving, her dad unexpectedly dies.

Struggling with her new reality, Katie is lost. She doesn't fit in at her new home and never will.

It only gets worse when Katie starts her freshman year of high school and begins to have run-ins with the son of the man who owns the town—a powerful man with ties to her family's past.

Then one day, she is attacked from behind. Blindfolded and slung across the back of a horse, Katie is taken up into the hills. Dumped in the middle of the wilderness in an oncoming storm, she is left to find her way home. But how will she survive?

Rain Falling on Embers by Liana Gardner is a gripping tale of resilience and courage in the face of unimaginable challenges.
