This novel is based on the disastrous fires that ravaged the coast of Maine in 1947. Grace Holland is a dutiful wife trapped in a loveless marriage. The impact of the fire on Grace’s life is devastating and will affect how she lives her life. The fire leaves her homeless and alone with her children. Grace perseveres and finds the courage to create a new life at a time when women were not seen as being independent.
