Most people would look at Derek and say he'd made it in life. A fun job, a handsome boyfriend, and an exciting life in New York City. But one night, staring at his reflection in the window of the subway as it barrels down Lexington Avenue, Derek realizes he's fooling himself-and everyone else, too.
Derek gets off the train and goes home. Only not home to his tiny Manhattan apartment, but home to Tennessee-which is definitely not NYC.
Home to his family-and to all the other people he knows, or thinks he knows, and who think they know him.
Home to football games, and dive bars, and high school buddies who have known him forever.
Home to old situations...and to new possibilities.
At turns lighthearted, poignant, and surprising, "Home Is a Fire "is a delightful read for anyone who believes that whoever said "You can't go home again" was mistaken. It's just not exactly how you pictured it.
