How far would you go to save the life of a complete stranger?
As a park ranger, Monica Greene knows that the beauty of nature can quickly turn deadly. So when a tropical storm hits Great Smoky Mountains National Park, stranding dozens of hikers in the wilderness, Monica and her fellow rangers must put their own lives on the line to save others.
A thrilling, heart-pounding adventure from David Safford, Flood follows Monica through the harrowing canyons below Laurel Falls, the bewitching tranquility of Cades Cove, the depths of an abandoned mine, the thundering rivers under Chimney Tops, and the darkness of a desperate nighttime search and rescue up the Little River. With each attempt at making the Park safer, Monica faces opposition of all kinds, as weather, humanity, and even her own family rise like the tide to overwhelm her.
Flood is the perfect story for any visitor to the Great Smoky Mountains wishing to explore wild places, continue the adventure at home, and grow in love for one another. While Flood contains brief moments of adult language and several intense scenes of search and rescue action, it is appropriate for all readers ages 13 and older.
