Inspired by stories of the largest fire in Maine history occurring in 1947, the protagonist is a young mother of two kids who saves her family while losing all of their material possession. The husband is missing and Grace discovers her own strength and resilience. It is a heartbreaking account of how wives are devalued and the how the patriarchy operated then to grind women down. Ending was disappointing because it was too uplifting and neat to actually fit with the story.
