Over 6,400 5-Star Reviews!
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Pilot’s Wife comes an exquisitely suspenseful novel inspired by the true story of the largest fire in Maine’s history.
In October 1947, after a summer-long drought, fires rage along the Maine coast from Bar Harbor to Kittery, consuming everything in their path. Five months pregnant, Grace Holland is left to protect her two toddlers when her husband, Gene, joins the volunteer firefighters. With her best friend, Rosie, and Rosie’s two young children, Grace watches in horror as the flames destroy their homes—forcing them into the ocean as a last desperate refuge.
By morning, the women are homeless, penniless, and unsure of their husbands’ fate, left to navigate an uncertain future in a town that no longer exists.
