When the Almeda Fire tore through Southern Oregon, it didn't just consume homes and hillsides, it forced a father and daughter to face the wreckage they'd made of each other.

​

She ran at seventeen. Hardened by years on the streets, carrying wounds no fire could explain. He stayed behind. A fire chief who could command an entire valley through a wall of flames but couldn't reach the daughter who needed him most. For years, silence was easier than the truth. Then the sky turned to ash, and silence was no longer an option.

​

Set against the real 2020 Almeda Fire, one of the most destructive wildfires in Oregon's history, Memories of an Ash Covered Sky is an emotionally charged literary novel about estrangement, survival, and the fierce, complicated love between a father and daughter. For readers of William Kent Krueger, Louise Penny, and Allen Eskens.
