Then, a startling discovery drastically alters their path and the stakes of their escape.Drenched in the beauty of the natural world and attuned to the specific cadences of male friendship, even here at the edge of doom, Burn is both a blistering warning about a divided country&’s political strife and an ode to the salvation found in our chosen families.
