Prairie Fire by Kayt Peck

Judy and Kathleen are accepted, even loved, by their conservative ranching neighbors, and their world feels safe and secure until a prairie fire sweeps through. The flames bring destruction and injury, but the community pulls together against a common enemy. When Kathleen's unofficial 'daughter' Pookie finds herself homeless, she joins them, bringing her black clothes and rebellious nature. Conservative and liberal, gay and straight, they are a community ready to face fire itself. The surprise is an unseen enemy from within that could destroy them all.
