A NOVELLA-LENGTH EXPANSION OF THE 2020 THEODORE STURGEON MEMORIAL AWARD WINNER
A professor in pandemic isolation rescues books from the flooded and collapsing McPherson Library. A man plants fireweed on the hillside of his depopulated Vancouver Island suburb.

Reviews
"Campbell doesn't shy away from the worst possibilities of apocalyptic ecological collapse ... but offers a surprisingly hopeful and joyful vision of the future ... This compassionate cli-fi mosaic is sure to please genre fans." - Publishers Weekly"I have yearned for a story like this one - ordinary people finding slow, small ways to repair not the whole damaged world, but their own small corner of it ... I couldn't love it more." - Molly Gloss, author of Wild Life and The Hearts of Horses"You'll see the world differently after reading this slender book-I dare you to come away unchanged." - Amanda Leduc, author of The Centaur's Wife
