Book
The hottest girl at burn camp: how to survive a fire and a chaotic upbringing (without losing your sense of humour)
On the shelf? Just pop in.
When Krystal Evans was 14, the house that she shared with her mother and little sister burned down. Krystal narrowly escaped by breaking a window and jumping out head-first; suffering burns, smoke inhalation, PTSD - and the unimaginable tragedy of losing her six year-old sister. But horrific as events were, the account of what led the family to that fatal night, and how they coped with its aftermath, is a richer and more complex story. Writing with skill and candour to find light in the darkest of places, this is Krystal Evans' story of growing up poor in America, living with a mentally ill mother, and having a wolf for a pet (really).
