About the title
Fall 2018 went down in California history as the time of one of the most devastating wildfires. Near the town of Paradise, raging flames destroyed everything in their path, leaving people with no chance of escape. At the center of this disaster are school bus driver Kevin McKay and an elementary school teacher. Their task is to get the children through fire-ravaged areas as roads are cut off, communication is down, and every decision is agonizing. The bus becomes a last stronghold of hope, where the man battles an overheating engine and thick smoke while the woman keeps the children from panicking. Every foot of the journey is a test of endurance and courage, since the lives of an entire class depend on their actions.
