When Grammy and Betty set out for a walk through the hills of Kaleden, they do not expect the adventures awaiting them there. Grammy, wise in many ways, especially when it comes to wildlife,

strong sense of place, central to the story, and unique in that takes place in Canada's only desert. Breathe deeply, and you can almost smell dry air and pine.
