Book Discussion (144) On Fire Island

On Fire Island by Jane L. Rosen

As a book editor, Julia Morse lived and breathed stories, when her imagination was alight with a good tale, she could anticipate practically any ending. The ending she'd never imagined was her own. To be fair, no one expects to die at thirty-seven. So when the unthinkable happens, rather than following the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel, she chooses to spend one last summer near those she loves most. With poignant comedy and insight, this is an ode to the stories all around us and to the brightest types of loves.
