"On the afternoon of his seventh birthday, I set Bobby Clarke on fire." So opens the story of Kip McFarland, who, when he was 9 years old, was responsible for the murder of a child.
Kip is committed to a psychiatric ward for violent youth offenders and receives years of therapy before being released to his father with a new name and the hope of starting over in another state. Kip's house has burned down during the time he's been locked up, and his father decides to move them far away, so no one will know of Kip's horrible deed.
Will Kip, now living as "Wade," be able to live life normally on "the outside"? Will he burn others? Can he ever escape his past? This book will leave readers on the edges of their seats, turning pages frantically to get to the end.
