Picoult "To say I love this book is an understatement. It's a deep psychological mystery about
the power of motherhood the intensity of teenage love and the danger of perfection. It moved
me to tears." -Reese Witherspoon "Extraordinary . . . books like Little Fires Everywhere don't
come along often." -John Green From the bestselling author of Everything I Never Told You a
riveting novel that traces the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and
the enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. In Shaker Heights a placid
progressive suburb of Cleveland everything is planned-from the layout of the winding roads to
the colors of the houses to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one
embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson whose guiding principle is playing by the
rules. Enter Mia Warren-an enigmatic artist and single mother-who arrives in this idyllic
bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and
Pearl become more than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter
pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past and a disregard for the status quo that
threatens to upend this carefully ordered community. When old family friends of the
Richardsons attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby a custody battle erupts that dramatically
divides the town-and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives
Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her obsession will come at
unexpected and devastating costs. Little Fires Everywhere explores the weight of secrets
the nature of art and identity and the ferocious pull of motherhood-and the danger of
believing that following the rules can avert disaster. Named a Best Book of the Year by:
