An Emotional Portrait of Struggle
Written in both verse and prose We Are the Ashes, We Are the Fire is about a girl named Em, who struggling with fear, guilt, and the need to avenge her sister who was raped. Although the rapist is found guilty, there is no justice and they don't serve any time for their actions. Em finds herself in a dark sad place, but is determined to help her family heal despite being caught between revenge and hope.
This sounds like a moving, complex, and emotional story that hits deeply. I would be very interested to read this even though I don't often read books that use both prose and verse. I like the cover a lot and think it conveys a dark tone that matches the heavy content in this book.
