Nancy Cato. The Heart of the Continent. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2016.

In this lyrical and powerful novel, the inhabitants of a small town in upstate New York grapple with the aftermath of a natural disaster. The townspeople are coping with the loss of their homes, their livelihoods, and their way of life. But they are also struggling to come to terms with the real meaning of the disaster. It was not a tornado that destroyed their town, but climate change. The townspeople are forced to reckon with the possibility that their way of life is coming to an end, and with the possibility that they may be the only people on the planet who can do anything to stop it.
