Sunny, a construction worker who sleeps in a van along the bay's shore, is in the running for an apartment—but only if enough funds are raised at the party.</p> <p>As the heat and smoke from the approaching blaze descend upon the town, tensions rise and residents—young and old, haves and have nots—confront the inequities laid bare, and the fragility of building a life in a world on fire.</p> <p>Alternating among a colorful cast of characters, A Fire So Wild is a timely, tautly paced novel that questions why when everything burns, not everyone is left with scars.</p>.
