What is the setting of this book?

Burned is set in Nevada. This location works well for the story for at least two reasons. The first is that the American southwest has a large population of Mormons, and Patty's family are members of the Church of Latter Day Saints. The second reason is that Nevada proves to be a location of religious zealotry and suffocation for Patty -just as much as rural Nevada is a wellspring of hope and new life for her.
