The stars are fire / Anita Shreve.

Shreve, Anita, (author.).

Summary:

"In October 1947, after a summer-long drought, fires break out all along the Maine coast, racing out of control from village to village. Twenty-four-year-old Grace Holland is left alone to protect her two toddlers. After an unimaginable night in which the fire forces them to huddle together in the sea, they emerge at dawn to find their lives forever changed. Homeless, penniless, and left to face an uncertain future in a town that no longer exists, Grace must learn to drive and find a job, a place to live, and a way to care for her family. In the midst of catastrophe, she discovers the power of her own resilience, along with exquisite new freedoms and joys. But the true test of Grace's courage still lies ahead of her...." -- Provided by publisher.
