"Battered, bruised, but alive, Helicity Dunlap rides out a hurricane in the Bolivar Peninsula Lighthouse in Texas. She somehow manages to keep herself safe and to even rescue a lost dog in the process. After a day in the hospital, she and her mom and Sam make the two-day drive back to Western Michigan. Much to her dismay, Helicity ends up in the spotlight--first in a good way after surviving the hurricane and rescuing the dog--and then social media turns on her and she finds herself in the eye of a completely different kind of storm. She decides to accept an offer to be interviewed about her experience in Texas by a reporter who followed her story. They meet up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, during the annual International Hot Air Balloon Festival, where Helicity delights in her first ride in a lighter-than-air balloon when disaster strikes. A severe dust storm--a haboob--typical of the area erupts while Helicity is aloft. How will the pilot navigate this . . . storm?"--OCLC.
