Little Fires Everywhere

📚 Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

In Shaker Heights, Ohio, Elena Richardson has built her life around order, stability, and following the rules. But when artist Mia Warren and her teenage daughter, Pearl, rent a home from her family, their arrival begins to disrupt that carefully maintained world.

As the two families grow closer, a controversial adoption divides the community—and places Elena and Mia on opposing sides. Elena’s determination to uncover Mia’s past threatens to expose secrets with consequences for them all.

Layered with family tensions, difficult choices, and questions of belonging, Little Fires Everywhere explores motherhood, privilege, and the limits of knowing what’s best for someone else. A compelling pick for readers who love emotional family dramas and stories that spark thoughtful conversation.
