Description:Tracing the evolution of a small Oregon lumber town and its connection to the Japanese internment during World War II, THE FIRES OF EDGARVILLE is a spellbinding story told with authentic detail and unexpected humor. Craig Danner's second novel is fast-paced and unflinching in its honesty, while filled with compassion for its original and endearing characters.

Long an outcast from her Mormon family, Myrna herself has only recently returned to the now-failed homestead her father and brothers built and planted when she was a child. As her dementia progresses, she loses hold of her long-held secrets, and Hank becomes entwined in the mystery of a phantom arsonist plaguing a community that holds the slowly turning key to his past-and his future.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
