"Burning Season" by Kiki Swinson

This books discussion group reads books by authors of African, Caribbean, and African American descent.

Join the African American Authors group to read and learn about books by authors of African, Caribbean, and African American descent. This group meets on the 3rd Sunday of the month at Germantown Library. 

This event will take place in the large meeting room on the lower level.  The group will discuss Burning Season by Kiki Swinson.

"A volunteer Virginia Beach firefighter, Alayna Curry faces death every day--and is proud to carry on her retired father's legacy. But with cash always tight and her long-time boyfriend Levi pressuring her to give up what she loves to make more money, she knows she needs more cash flow to stay afloat. . . All Alayna has to do is keep quiet about a scheme to burn down buildings for insurance-hungry 'clients.' And for a while she's on fire from the rush, making insane cash--and finding new passion in all the wrong places. But when the money suddenly stops rolling in--and one 'client' after another pushes back against the deal--Alayna and the rest of the crew stop watching out for each other and start fighting for their lives."  MCPL Catalog
