Little Fires Everywhere

This book had me from the first page! Mia Warren is an artist who has always taken her daughter Pearl along for the ride when inspiration struck. In contrast, Elena Richardson grew up in Shaker Heights, coming back after college to raise her family the same way she was raised--in a bubble. Now that Pearl is getting older, nomadic mother/daughter pair finally settle down for good in a picture-perfect Ohio town, and their lives become intertwined with the Richardson's. The community is split when a custody battle erupts and causes old secrets to bubble to the surface. Mia and Elena are at the center of this scuffle, and the reader can only watch as racial tensions, hidden pasts and all kinds of situations and relationships (and even a house) go up in flames.
