Somewhere in the midst of a beautiful and serene mountain valley resides a community of
ranchers and farmers. Generation after generation, families support and rely on one another as
troubling times whistle through the mountainsides. The Kammer family is no exception-though,
there are always a few who blow in with the breeze.
Into the Canyon by Victoria Baker follows Izrael Kammer, a high school senior who resides on
his family's in the valley. The family of seven's simple way of life is disrupted when a
girl moves into the area and takes a liking to Izrael-but she is quick to betray his trust and
disrupt the peace of the valley. While lies threaten his future, family secrets reveal themselves,
and Izrael fights to break the curse that began with his grandfather. With his family and friends
steady by his side, Izrael searches for a way to clear his name and move toward the future
waiting for him after graduation.
Into the Canyon is the first book of the trilogy following the Kammer family. After spending
much of her life at her family's ranch, the same ranch her father was birthed,
Baker was inspired to put her passion for writing, her love for the mountains, and her
commitment to family unity into words. The Kammer family resembles
the quaint, tender, and hardworking existence of farmers and ranchers everywhere.
