(3) YA Orca Soundings series. After getting busted for trespassing, Ethan expects punishment. He's surprised to learn that it means riding along with an EMT team. As Ethan and the EMTs respond to emergencies, Ethan finds himself returning to his rough childhood neighborhood and confronting memories of his mother's death. Heavy topics of drug abuse, prostitution, and murder make this a gritty and gripping story.
