Not On Fire, But Burning by Greg Hrbek

Set in a near-future America grappling with the aftermath of a devastating terrorist attack on San Francisco, this speculative fiction novel weaves together the lives of several characters as they navigate a world marked by fear, prejudice, and the search for truth. The narrative follows a young girl named Skyler, who is haunted by visions of her brother, presumed dead in the attack, and a boy named Dorian, who is caught in the crossfire of societal tensions. As their paths converge, the story explores themes of identity, memory, and the human capacity for empathy amidst chaos and uncertainty.
