When the one you trust betrays you, you have two options: forgive them and walk away or burn everything to the ground. Ever since her mother moved her entire family to Toronto, sixteen-year-old Emily has spent the last three years trying to fit in at Trinity Collegiate. But this uppity, private high school feels more like a prison to an outspoken Jamaican teen navigating her new life in Canada. When a string of mysterious fires breaks out in a vulnerable part of the city, Emily meets a familiar face and is forced to find her voice and speak up for what's right. But at what cost? Living between two worlds, Emily walks the fine line between belonging and being rejected by the person she trusts the most.
Come with the Fire is a compelling coming of age story that deals with microaggressions, friendship, the mother-daughter dynamic―and what it means to find your voice when everything feels like it's going up in flames.
