A haunting story of faith, loss, and redemption in the wake of a devastating tragedy.

Three weeks before Christmas, on December 1, 1958, one of the deadliest fires in America took place at Our Lady of the Angels school in Chicago, claiming the lives of ninety-two children and three nuns. Fire Angels is a fictional account of that fire, exploring the lives touched by the tragedy.

A young arsonist grapples with guilt, while a dedicated janitor faces accusations. Nuns and priests struggle with their faith, and a community is forever scarred. Amidst the devastation, two survivors find solace in each other. Fire Angels is a gripping and emotional journey through a community shattered by loss, and the enduring power of hope and love. Perfect for readers of historical fiction seeking stories of resilience and the human spirit.
