Younger's own miraculous saga of escape, ruin and renewal unifies a tapestry of experiences that takes readers into the heart of the epic firefight with stories of firefighters scrambling to combat a disaster bigger than they’d ever imagined, and civilian survivors racing desperately through heat and smoke to escape the flames.
The Fire Outside My Window is a riveting and nuanced tale that captures the intensity of a catastrophic wildfire, honors the victims lost to its fury, and celebrates the human spirit's innate capacity to triumph over adversity.
