Just Released...Fighting for Sunshine
Will Cranston, 19 years old, finds himself suspended in a basket from a Search & Rescue helicopter as it hovers over the flooded lands of south-central Manitoba in April 1997. Below him rages "The Red Sea," and on the roof of her partially submerged house, his beloved Sunshine lies stranded and bleeding. Set in Winnipeg, the story begins two years earlier, and outlines Will’s fascination and deep affection for his sensitive, creative girlfriend. When Sunshine breaks off the relationship, Will spirals into a depression requiring hospitalization, from which he eventually breaks free. As the fiercely independent Sunshine faces her own darkness, the flood water of the Red River sweeps over the prairie and Will finds himself in the right place at the right time to help her—at the end of the cable. A novel of love and pain, Sunshine attempts to capture the raptures and agonies of the special first love, the one that shapes us all. Suitable for readers 15 years and older.
