Fire!: My Parents' Story

(3) 4-6 From the perspective of her then eight-year-old mother, Haas tells the story of the night her family's Vermont farmhouse burned down. Haas's eloquent prose not only captures a child's fear and confusion in the face of such an event, but also creates a vivid portrait of a family and of rural Vermont life fifty years ago. An insert of family snapshots and a family tree are included.
