About the Book: Our House is on Fire
This is the story of a family led to confront a crisis they had never foreseen.
Aged eleven, their eldest daughter has stopped eating and speaking. Alongside
diagnoses of autism and selective mutism, her parents slowly become aware of
another source for her distress: her imperilled future on a rapidly heating
planet. Steered by her determination to understand the truth, the family begins
to see the deep connection between their own and the Planets suffering. Against
forces that try to silence them, disparaging them for being different, they
discover ways to strengthen, heal, and act in the world.
