Four teenagers--a Native American girl, an illegal Mexican immigrant, a sheepherder's daughter and a gifted rock musician--share the hopes and promise of a future imperiled by the threat of nuclear war.

Book Synopsis

Four strangers fight for the lives they want in this emotional young adult novel from Newbery Honor author Gary Paulsen sure to strike a chord.

They are four different people with four separate lives: Sue, a young woman distanced from her native roots; David, a traveler in search of a dream; Laura, a student seeking her parents' understanding; and Peter, a rock star struggling to create the perfect sound.

One looming fate threatens them all. And everything they love may be taken away in a fleeting second...
