A RARE FIRESTORM TRAPS THOUSANDS IN RURAL MINNESOTA
HINCKLEY, 1894. Anna Andersson longs for a life beyond her rough and tumble logging town. Karl Sundvquist, her neighbor and close friend, dreams of joining a winter logging crew, his one chance to carve out a future of his own. But as summer wanes, a single reckless kiss threatens Anna's sister's reputation. Determined to protect her family, Anna pulls Karl into a plan that tests their loyalty, trust, and the unspoken spark growing between them.
Then the unthinkable happens. The Great Hinckley Fire roars in, obliterating everything they once knew. In a single day, the fire incinerates an area twice the size of Chicago, claiming over four hundred lives and leaving thousands homeless.
Anna and Karl must fight to survive the inferno. But when the flames are gone, an even harder task awaits: finding a way forward.
Sweeping and intimate, harrowing and hopeful, The Day the World Burned reveals the staggering power of a firestorm history has forgotten-one with a 200-foot flaming front, hurricane-strength winds, and tornadoes of fire. Through Anna's and Karl's eyes, this novel captures the courage it takes to rise from a world turned to ash.
Perfect for readers of Ariel Lawhon and Amy Harmon, The Day the World Burned opens the Pine County Chronicles, a series inspired by the people, landscapes, and folklore of Pine County, Minnesota.
