Christy Lefteri has a gift like no other for being able to write such beautiful books about such heartbreaking topics.

Irini, Tasso, Chara and their whole community are trying to recover from the trauma of a forest fire that destroyed their homes in a day! Many lost their lives, others have horrific injuries, they all lost the forest. The story looks at how they start to recover.

It looks at who caused the fire…a greedy property developer? Global warming? A strong wind? How do we place blame for a catastrophic event?

After the tragedy, Irini fears she has lost her husband, she finds hope in the kindness of strangers.

There are not enough words to describe how this book is both heartbreaking and beautiful. It is full of tragedy but also hope. The community and family do start to rebuild their lives, even after they thought all was lost.

A story of resilience, tragedy, hope, love, family and responsibility.
