Description
American Fire: Love, Arson, and Life in a Vanishing Land by Monica Hesse In the autumn of 2017, Accomack County was gripped by an unprecedented wave of arson. For months, night after night, buildings burned, leaving residents to wonder which one would be next. As the community struggled to cope with the crisis, a complex web of relationships and motivations began to emerge. Monica Hesse spent years investigating this extraordinary story, uncovering the intricate lives of two individuals at its centre: Charlie Smith and Tonya Bundick. Her book brings to life the people and places affected by these events, revealing a community torn apart by economic hardship and suspicion. American Fire is a powerful portrayal of rural America's struggles and resilience. Through Hesse's vivid storytelling, the story of Accomack County's arson crisis takes on a new depth, shedding light on the human cost of this devastating event.
