The Year of Small Fires

About This Book

Four women. One summer. The small acts of courage that hold a town together.

When the Harlow Community Center — the gathering place for three generations of a small Pacific Northwest town — is threatened with closure, four women find their lives intersecting in ways none of them expected. A recently widowed librarian, a young mother running from a bad decision, a retired teacher with a secret she has kept for forty years, and the new director hired to shut the place down. The Year of Small Fires is a warm, character-driven novel about friendship, grief, and the ordinary bravery of people who show up for each other when it would be easier not to.
