âA riveting coming-of-age story about a girl sleepwalking through a hot Midwestern summer until the sudden reappearance of her motherâand a new boy in townâchallenge her to dream bigger. Readers will eagerly follow Bliss as she discovers some rainbows are worth chasing.â âLaura Ruby, two-time National Book Award Finalist and author of Bone GapÂ
Seventeen-year-old Bliss Walker has been stuck in a home that doesnât feel like hers for six years. Ever since Mama dropped her off and never came back.
Then, the summer before her senior year of high school, two things happen: Mama returns out of the blue, and Bliss meets Blake, a boy who listens like everything she has to say is worth hearing.
It should be a dream come true. But as the summer spins on, Bliss finds herself facing a painful choice: between the life sheâs always longed for, and the world sheâs starting to make for herself.
Raw and unvarnished, Jennifer Wilsonâs debut about one girlâs messy, unglamorous, very real summer in central Illinois is perfect for fans of Emergency Contact and Far from the Tree.

Jennifer Wilson grew up in central Illinois and, like Bliss, sheâs walked beans and detasseled corn in the damp summer heat. She holds an MFA in creative writing for children and young adults from Hamline University, and a BS in Education from Indiana University. She is currently braving the icy winters and soaking up the perfect summers in Minnesota, where she is an early childhood educator. When sheâs not writing or teaching, she is crafting and trying to keep her one plant alive. You can visit her at www.jenniferwilsonwrites.com.
