Description
Description
When the one you trust betrays you, you have two options: forgive them and walk away or burn everything to the ground. Ever since her mother moved her entire family to Toronto, sixteen-year-old Emily has spent the last three years trying to fit in at Trinity Collegiate. But this uppity, private high school feels more like a prison to an outspoken Jamaican teen navigating her new life in Canada. When a string of mysterious fires breaks out in a vulnerable part of the city, Emily meets a familiar face and is forced to find her voice and speak up for what's right. But at what cost? Living between two worlds, Emily walks the fine line between belonging and being rejected by the person she trusts the most.
Come with the Fire is a compelling coming of age story that deals with microaggressions, friendship, the mother-daughter dynamic―and what it means to find your voice when everything feels like it's going up in flames.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Emily embodies a reserved, yet wild and powerful fire many women can relate to. The writer's creativity and brilliance allows us to feel the flame! I love it!" -Yolanda T. Marshall, Canadian Author of Miles Away in the Caribbean
"Immediately grabs your attention and makes the reader want to find out what's
going on. I adore how well it ties in at the end as well, it's brilliant!" -EMILY WRIGHT, author of Tamara King
"A powerful protagonist like Emily is like a wildfire that can barely be contained. She may be quiet, but shy? No; Emily is passionate!" -BETA READER
"I love strong Black female protagonists -bonus points for being culturally specific because it promises I would learn more about a way of life I may not be familiar with." -BETA READER
"The grandmother and father characters were probably my favourites. I love the sense of home they provide. The strong-willed and wise grandmother shows where Emily gets her passion and wit. Her father serves a similar purpose. With him, she can be herself. He shoots straight. Some of the best parts of this story was just describing home life, food, traditions, and ways of thinking and speaking, and those
things come primarily through Emily, her father, and grandmother." -BETA READER
"I liked that the reading was approachable, which makes for a quick and enjoyable read." -BETA READER
"I loved reading about Emily's home culture and the little details about what she was wearing and how she did self-care. Those details brought a warmth to the story." -BETA READER
