Description: At seventeen, Nick Radzinski has a choice of staying in Hamtramck to serve out probation or join the Civilian Conservation Corps. The CCC put young men to work restoring natural resources, building roads and fighting forest fires. On a cold day in 1937, he arrives at Camp Raco, in Michigan's remote Upper Peninsula. He's got one chance to prove that he can act responsibly and shed his reputation as a thief.
