Publisher's summary

Before the fire, it was the perfect place to raise a family.

An idyllic community where neighbors knew one another…

or so they thought.

Jenna Abbott’s life went up in flames even before the fire started in Tenmile, Oregon. She was still coping with her husband's affair—and the revelation that he got a much younger woman pregnant—when the fire finally died down, and Ryan was among the missing.

Chelsea Goddard still can’t explain how her estranged husband got back to Tenmile from out of the country the day of the fire, and she also can’t shake the nagging feeling that the secrets they’ve kept between them for the last twenty years might just be the tinder that made it all burn.

Morgan White knew getting involved with a married man was wrong, even before she got pregnant. She might be the only one who knows the truth about some of Tenmile's leading citizens…but people would have to stop treating her like a pariah to hear it.

Alex Coleman doesn’t remember anything from that fateful day, why she was found wandering on a rural road or why she has dreams of standing on scorched earth, holding a book of matches.

For four women, when the flames finally burn out, what’s left behind will be even more devastating than the fire itself…

Lots of characters and perspectives, similar tone of voice

it was a little difficult to tell the different narrators apart, the differences in tone of voice were subtle.

Loved it!

I loved this story! Multiple perspectives is always something I love and the twists and turns this story took had me hooked! Love, loss, friendship, danger- couldn’t wait to keep listening!
Also incredibly performed!

Love story. But about someone who loved only himself to the great harm of others.

Following highschool friends through events that shaped their lives in ways they wouldn’t fully discover for decades made for a well populated storyline allowing satisfying growth and leading to several beginnings of happy endings.

Courtney Patterson nails it.

Who else could craft so many characters consistently for 70+ chapters? I didn’t think I’d love it but I DID. She made me care about them and her distinct attributes for each character were very well designated. I’m off to find another of her narrations!

Long, long story with little payoff

They seem to be a lot of potential with this book, but the longer I listened the more I wanted it to be over. None of the characters were very compelling, they weren’t very relatable. And when I finally reached the end of the book, it wasn’t worth it.
