An Oprah Magazine Great Read
Louise Nayer illuminates both the emotional intensity of loss and the surprising strength that is summoned up for the sake of loved ones. Burned is the story of a family stripped to their barest elements and held together by love.
Your parents were extraordinary people. It seems a miracle that they could have a reasonably normal and content life after that tragedy.
--Isabel Allende
Meticulous and moving... Louise Nayer's memoir makes a large statement about human healing.
--Carl Dennis, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet.
As a poet and writer Louise Nayer has established herself as a singular voice of her generation.
--Robert Creeley
Louise's beautifully crafted story took great courage to write. ough it is about a freak accident and two children separated from their parents, it is ultimately about the road they all took to become a family again--the strength to feel the truth of what happened and the strength to carry on.
--Julia Scheeres, NYT best selling Author of Jesus Land and A ousand Lives.

--Charlene Pell, Author and Head of Facing Forward.
An extraordinary book.Heart-wrenching yet always readable. is book is a learning opportunity about all sorts of trauma.
--Dr. Anne Benham, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Stanford Univerisity.
