'The powerful story of a family who lose their home in a bushfire and their journey of recovery—commemorating the 10-year anniversary of the 2009 Victorian Black Saturday bushfires.

'There is a fire coming, and we need to move quickly. Mum and Dad start packing bags, grabbing woollen blankets, the first-aid kit, torches and then the photo albums. Dad puts Ruby on her lead and ties her up near the back door. My chest feels hollow, like a birdcage.

'Atmospheric and intensely moving, this is the story of a family experiencing a bushfire, its devastating aftermath and the long process of healing and rebuilding.'
