In this story, Chernobyl-like nuclear plant accident happens in Vermont, forcing a whole town to evacuate and throwing the area into chaos.
The focus in on Emily, a teenage girl with her life upended by the accident and rendered homeless like many others. But Emily is a little different than the other "walkers," as the displaced persons are called. Because Emily's father was in charge of the plant and everyone blames his negligence for the meltdown.
This was a really absorbing story, and I liked the characters. Still, it was awfully sad.
I also read recently by this author: The Flight Attendant
