Résumé :
~ No A.I. was used to write, prompt, or create the narrative of this book ~ On Fire is an award-winning memoir that readers are calling a heartbreaking and sometimes darkly humorous mother-daughter, coming-of-age tale written with gritty authenticity by author and award-winning journalist Steph West.
