AWESOME BOOK!

This is the first book I have read of this author. It was so well written and kept me guessing until the last chapter.

Veil of Fire is historical fiction based on an actual fire in Minnesota. The book shows the human nature side, not what happened. I got caught up in "who is hiding in the hills" as well as how the people worked so hard at moving forward without their loved ones. I could not imagine trying to move forward after losing everything and loved ones at the same time. I really like this book.
