Struck: A Season on a Fire Lookout

Set during the heyday for drugs, sex, and rock 'n' roll, the country awash in war protests and women's rights demonstrations, Nancy Nelson and her young husband, Jack, take a job as fire lookout attendants manning Corral Hill, a 6,000' mountain located in the vast Clearwater National Forest of Idaho. Like other women, Nancy wants freedom, not only for a fair wage, but from her former life, growing up with a sexually abusive stepfather. As Nancy keeps fire watch at 6000', she wrestles with inner demons, as well as health issues that could make it impossible to have a baby, something she desperately wanted. Every emotion she feels is exacerbated by solitude, frightening lightning storms, wildfires, natural phenomenon, and her demanding young husband. STRUCK: A Season on a Fire Lookout, is a story of isolation, extreme weather, and emotional challenges, changing how Nancy sees herself as she courageously moves forward, gaining confidence in life.
