In 1947, after a long summer drought, fires sweep along the coast of Maine. Five months pregnant, Grace Holland is left to protect her two small children when her unpredictable husband joins the volunteers battling the flames. With her friend Rosie and their children beside her, she watches the houses burn and turns to the ocean as their last chance of escape. Surviving the night is only the beginning of a life she could never have imagined. As Grace confronts loss, uncertainty and unfamiliar possibilities, her courage is tested in new ways. Anita Shreve follows a woman's struggle to rebuild after disaster and to discover how much of her future she can claim for herself.
