Phoenix Rising (novel)

[1][2][3] It is a about 13-year old Nyle Sumner, who learns about love and death after victims of a nuclear accident come to stay at her grandmother's Vermont farmhouse.

Thirteen-year old Nyle Sumner and her grandmother's lives are disrupted by a nuclear accident in Vermont.

Everyone that lives anywhere near the accident suddenly has to wear masks, test everywhere for high levels of radiation, and watch everything they eat and drink to make sure it's not contaminated until the government gives the all clear.

Nyle and her grandmother live together on a sheep farm, near the nuclear plant in fictional Cookshire.

She initially pushes Ezra away, but they eventually grow closer over the course of his recovery at the farm.
