A young girl survives the deadliest landslide in Canadian history – but a family secret could call into question everything she thought she knew about her life before the disaster.After her father dies, Abby and her family move west to live with relatives who run a hotel in the mining town of Frank, Alberta. Abby keeps busy helping out at the hotel, being chief caregiver to her little brother with Down Syndrome, and learning Morse Code at the telegraph office.When the devastating Frank Slide buries much of the town, Abby must do all she can to help. But a long-buried family secret emerged just before the disaster – and she must wait for the dust to settle before getting the answers she so desperately wants.Inspired by two of her own relatives, one who helped run a telegraph office in the late 1800s and another who shares Abby’s story (and her family secret), Jean Little crafts a compelling story rich with emotion and historical detail.
