But while she’s home, a suspicious fire destroys the town health clinic, and Mary becomes a leading suspect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMary can’t remember the night of the fire (too much eggnog) and, as always, her mother isn’t talking. Birdie has kept secrets from Mary her entire life, beginning with the truth about Mary’s birth mother. When Mary discovers her adoptive father socked away a small fortune performing pre-Roe v. Wade illegal abortions in the clinic that burned to the ground, she’s done with being kept in the dark. As the days tick by and pressures mount to find the arsonist, Mary digs deeper into Wellfleet’s history, and more secrets start to unfurl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile, Mary’s cousin Jimmy is acting strangely and suddenly, so is her son. As the FBI zeroes in on Mary, and another fire burns in the harbor, it's time for Mary and Birdie to face a long brewing reckoning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA cross-generational mystery told through the perspectives of four women living on the underbelly of Cape Cod, \u003ci\u003eHush Little Fire\u003c\/i\u003e is the perfect read for fans of Bonnie Garmus, Dennis Lehane, and Adrienne Brodeur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eFrom her Cape Cod studio, \u003cb\u003eJudith Newcomb Stiles \u003c\/b\u003ecreates original ceramics inspired by the textures and vibrant colors of the seashore.
