Summer of Fire: A Memoir

Viac o knihe

On the evening of July 24, 2018, author Celeste White stepped outside her home to find a massive, boiling fire cloud blotting out the Western sky. Celeste and her husband fled three times in twenty-four hours to keep ahead of the Carr Fire, and they barely escaped the EF3 fire tornado that jumped the Sacramento River. Evacuated for two weeks, they waited anxiously to find out whether their home had survived the fire storm. "Summer of Fire" is a story of climate change and of home. It is the story of Redstone, a hand-built labor of love, and it also examines the effects of climate change as it threatens our planetary home. It is a story that was once unusual, but that is becoming more and more commonplace. It may become everyone's story one day.
