Aprašymas

An emotionally rich novel about a Chicago journalist whose life burns down twice: first by her husband, then by wildfire. Grieving her lost pets, she takes on insurers and grifters, and fights the system that profits from disaster.

Amber Mettle, a Chicago journalist with a rescue reflex, moves to Los Angeles for her husband’s fresh start. Instead, she’s left with betrayal, no job, and no safety net. Then a catastrophic wildfire takes what’s left: her home, her animals, her sense of control.  

In the ruins, Amber meets the next disaster in the form of insurers, mortgage lenders, and opportunist grifters circling for profit. Haunted by signs she can’t quite explain, and driven by the pets she couldn’t save, she turns grief into a mission. She refuses to be a victim twice.

Fueled by love, anger, and an unwavering sense of justice, she fights to hold the people responsible accountable—and discovers that even in devastation, hope can take root. Loosely based on the author’s own experiences, this story is about what rebuilding really means when the system is built to wear you down.
