But when Brent, the camp owner's son, hires Israeli soldiers to deal with a staffing shortfall, Ruby, a committed anti-Zionist, must decide if she's willing to jeopardize her place at Burntshore to fight Brent over the contentious issues of Jewish belonging and settler colonialism, even as she finds herself falling in love with one of the soldiers, the sweetly handsome Etai. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSoon it becomes clear that the conflict is not just about the camp's internal divisions but also about Burntshore's relationship with the neighboring Black Spruce First Nation, strained because of Brent's larger scheme to buy the Crown land surrounding the lake. As campers swim, go canoe tripping, and stage an over-the-top musical, Ruby has to contend with her feelings for Etai while simultaneously trying to save her beloved camp from greed and colonialism. A social satire, romance, and political commentary all in one, \u003ci\u003eLake Burntshore\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the contemporary Jewish world through its most iconic symbol -- the often idyllic yet always dramatic summer camp.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAaron Kreuter\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of five books, including the poetry collection \u003ci\u003eShifting Baseline Syndrome\u003c\/i\u003e, a 2022 finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award.
