Anita Shreve slowly pulls you into her characters. Maine 1940's. A horrific wildfire destroys towns, kills many, and alters forever the lives of Grace, her husband Gene, and their two children. Assuming Gene is dead, Grace is left to fend for herself and her children after losing all possessions and the baby she was carrying. In the aftermath of this tragedy, Grace finds her inner strength to overcome and find her way. But life has a way of throwing curveballs.....

I enjoyed this read, but the ending left me hanging a little - wanting conclusion.
