But then Lillian h ad to leave the school unexpectedly in the wake of a scandal and they’ve barely spoken since. Until now\, when Lillian gets a letter from Madison pleading for her help.\n\nMadison’s twin stepkids are moving in with her family and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However\, there’s a catch: the twins spontaneously combust when they get agitated\, flames ig niting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way. Lillian is convin ced Madison is pulling her leg\, but it’s the truth.\n\nThinking of her dead-end life at home\, the life that has consistently disappointed her\, Lillian figures she has nothing to lose. Over the course of one humid\, de manding summer\, Lillian and the twins learn to trust each other—and sta y cool—while also staying out of the way of Madison’s buttoned-up poli tician husband. Surprised by her own ingenuity yet unused to the intense f eelings of protectiveness she feels for them\, Lillian ultimately begins t o accept that she needs these strange children as much as they need her— urgently and fiercely. Couldn’t this be the start of the amazing life sh e’d always hoped for?\n\n254 pages\, Hardcover\nFirst published October 29\, 2019\n\n*Please post your suggestions for future discussions.
