We often think we know what we’d do in difficult situations—and we’re often wrong. D. Liebhart’s vivid, beautifully written story explores what happens when a dutiful daughter is forced to deal with a hypothetical agreement that becomes all too real. I was riveted from the first page of this novel to its explosive conclusion.

In HOUSE ON FIRE, D. Liebhart mines her experience as an ICU nurse to craft a gripping tale that delves into the devastating toll dementia takes on a family. Exploring the complexities of caring for aging parents while trying to shepherd a child with unique needs through adolescence, the author deftly lights a series of sparks that smolder throughout the story. Timely and relatable, the novel teems with gorgeous lines and keen observations. Readers will identify with Liebhart’s main character, Bernadette Rogers, who somehow maintains her humor and keeps her cool while everything around her goes up in flames.

Are you a good daughter? Please read House on Fire before you answer that question! This novel explores a topic that touches all of us, but like all great storytellers, D. LIebhart does so while keeping us on the edge of our seats and making us question what’s right and what’s wrong in ways we never could imagine. This story is intense, honest, and funny—because sometimes life hits you so hard all you can do is laugh. What a page-turner!
