onLeave a Comment on "The Burning Side" by Sarah Damoff. After reading Sarah Damoff's "The Bright Years" and realizing it was a debut novel I was so thrilled to know she had another book already published, "The Burning Side" which I loved just as much. A story of a family, of secrets, love, pain with love being the most important. I was teary at times and worried. I wanted to write the ending myself all through the book. I could not put it down and now sad I don't have another day with "them". To say this may be my new favorite author. Can definitely say my favorite "new author". I look forward to everything she will write. I just LOVED it!

Elin Hilderbrand called it: _"This one is special... It reminded me of how much good still exists in the world."_
It's a family saga about:
- What we inherit from our parents and what we choose for ourselves
- The meaning of home - is home a house, or the people in it?
- Forgiveness, long love, and the cost of being truly known by someone
- How a crisis can either destroy a family or bring it back together
