This historical fiction novel was inspired by the biggest natural disaster in Michigan-the fire of 1881. Author Carol Nickles kept the idea for the story along with notes in a box for close to 20 years.
Then she decided either she was going to write the story or burn the box, and that's how Thumb Fire Desire was born with the help of a developmental editor.
"I've always wanted to tell this story," she said.
Listen to this inspiring interview for a chance to win an autographed copy of Thumb Fire Desire.
