About this listen

“One of the worst things you can do is stay in your comfort zone.”

Fifteen-year-old Natalie Ryba reluctantly moves from the Illinois suburbs to Rapid City, South Dakota, when her mom accepts a new job in the Black Hills. More than anything, Natalie wants to find the same peace and sense of belonging she had in Illinois with her friends and track team. But moving across the country, living minutes from her estranged, eccentric grandmother, and developing a crush on her next-door neighbor put that dream out of reach.

The move turns Natalie’s life upside down, and she realizes how much she doesn’t know about the world, her family, and herself. She embraces the culture of her new home by learning how to fly fish. Through fly fishing, Natalie becomes more confident and adventurous. But after returning home from a fly fishing trip to Montana, Natalie receives life- altering news. Can she apply the new skills she’s learned over the summer–physical and personal–to overcome her obstacles?
