Beau Holloway can't wait to leave his small Southern Alberta town for school; first he and his siblings must carry out a father's final wish: scatter his ashes over a remote British Columbia lake.

What unfolds is a wild, deeply human road trip as Beau, his rockstar brother and quietly haunted sister head west to fulfill that request from beyond the grave. Set against the ash-clouded skies of the Mount St. Helens disaster, the novel weaves personal upheaval with a world literally shifting under their feet.

Ashes to Ashes is a bittersweet coming-of-age that blends 1980s nostalgia, slow-burn suspense, and emotional family drama into a story about the lies that protect us, the loyalties that bind us, and how far we'll go to reclaim the past before it turns to dust.
