The stars are fire

Years ago, I came across Anita Shreve after her book, The Pilot's wife became a Oprah book club title. I fell in love with her descriptive writing and strong female characters and read many of her books at the time. When I saw a new Anita Shreve title available on audible.com, I thought it would be a good story to listen on my commute each day. 
After a fire devastates a coastal town, Grace survives her house burning to the ground with her two young children. Homeless, penniless and with her husband missing, she gains her strength and provides for her family. A moving story that I couldnt stop listening to.
