Description
A river divided. A town on edge. A girl caught in the fight to heal what’s broken.
In Restoration, the fourth standalone novel in the Tales From a Warming Planet series, seventeen-year-old Junie Wye finds herself in Utility, a town split over the fate of a huge hydroelectric dam on the Columbia River. Her father has been contracted by the Bureau of Environmental Security to oversee the removal project, part of a bold river restoration effort designed to revive salmon runs and repair ecosystems strained by climate change.
Not everyone wants the dam to come down.
As sabotage, secrecy, and local politics intensify, Junie forms an unlikely partnership with Don Rast, a young man forced into the town’s harsh “disidentified” punishment system. Together they discover that restoring a river means confronting power, identity, and environmental loss on a human scale.

- How climate change can escalate into environmental security risks
- The human cost of systems such as disidentification
