She thinks it will be under control by tonight, officials are worried about shifting winds, which could bring the fire right to their home if it is not contained by then. On the bright side, they've evacuated many times and this is not a new process, and they won't be complacent about it because of what they've been through before.<br /><br />It truly was hellish, that's the best way to describe it. Just walls of fire everywhere, both sides of the road. Abandoned cars, people on foot, everything. It was so bad.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-28972554080854942572021-07-12T10:34:13.705-05:002021-07-12T10:34:13.705-05:00I hate that the book didn’t do justice to the horr...I hate that the book didn’t do justice to the horrible tragedy that took place. I also don’t like that the story isn’t the most truthful. Also the book seems so tiny for a such a story. But I am glad your friend made it safely. I could only imagine how hellish the scene would’ve been.

Then again, it does make sense. Plus now they can sell new editions later on as cases are settled, blah blah blah.

She showed her family; they had no idea they were quoted in it, and the info was wrong.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-6424865817623573232021-07-11T18:19:28.162-05:002021-07-11T18:19:28.162-05:00it's a lot about the quick buck, i think...it's a lot about the quick buck, i think...mudpuddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647084124715892324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-84569675102361977462021-07-11T18:14:04.389-05:002021-07-11T18:14:04.389-05:00It really is too bad that the book does not do jus...It really is too bad that the book does not do justice to this tragic story.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.com
