Raising Kane Special Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781069938831)

Fifteen-year-old Ruth has spent half her life trying to be the girl the commune demanded-quiet, obedient, rule-bound.

But when a devastating fire leaves her the sole survivor of the only life she's known, everything she's been trained to believe collapses with the flames.

Orphaned, uprooted, and suddenly thrust back into the "real world," Ruth is taken in by a grandmother she barely remembers. But as she tries to navigate the ridicule of her peers and a grief too big to name, something unexpected begins to stir.

Before she was Ruth, she was Zoe-a bold, fearless girl who vanished when her parents decided to flee Montana for an isolated life in the Idaho hills. Now, fragments of Zoe return, pulling her toward the truth of who she used to be... and who she might become.

Caught between two identities-one forged in fear, the other in fire-Ruth must decide whether it's safer to stay hidden... or brave enough to rise again as Zoe.

A gripping, emotional story of survival, identity, and reclaiming your voice after everything has been taken.
