Book Description
The definitive firsthand account of California’s Camp Fire, the nation’s deadliest wildfire in a century, Paradise is a riveting examination of what went wrong and how to avert future tragedies as the climate crisis unfolds. “A tour de force story of wildfire and a terrifying look at what lies ahead.”—San Francisco Chronicle (Best Books of the Year) On November 8, 2018, the people of Paradise, California, awoke to a mottled gray sky and gusty winds. Soon the Camp Fire was upon them, gobbling an acre a second. Less than two hours after the fire ignited, the town was engulfed in flames, the residents trapped in their homes and cars. By the next morning, eighty-five people were dead. As a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, Lizzie Johnson was there as the town of Paradise burned. She saw the smoldering rubble of a historic covered bridge and the beloved Black Bear Diner and she stayed long afterward, visiting shelters, hotels, and makeshift camps. Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting and reams of public records, including 911 calls and testimony from a grand jury investigation, Johnson provides a minute-by-minute account of the Camp Fire, following residents and first responders as they fight to save themselves and their town. We see a young mother fleeing with her newborn; a school bus full of children in search of an escape route; and a group of paramedics, patients, and nurses trapped in a cul-de-sac, fending off the fire with rakes and hoses. In Paradise, Johnson documents the unfolding tragedy with empathy and nuance. But she also investigates the root causes, from runaway climate change to a deeply flawed alert system to Pacific Gas and Electric’s decades-long neglect of critical infrastructure. A cautionary tale for a new era of megafires, Paradise is the gripping story of a town wiped off the map and the determination of its people to rise again.

Book Description
SUMMARY Margaret Elizabeth was not of the manor born, nor was she a child of the elites. in fact, her birthright is from the most humble of circumstances. The sisters from her dysfunctional family, spent their best efforts, scheming, inflicting, or covering up their cruelties, especially from the diabolic designs of her evil sister Josette. Her father Phillip suffered an equally wicked fate at the hands of Josette, and his own sister Gertrude, and at the end of this vicious plot which almost landed him in prison, he was disgracefully kicked out of the family home and out of the toddler's life. Their mother's preferential treatment and public display of affection toward the child, did not sit well with the sisters, whose subtle cruelty became more clandestine, and they merely drew a wide berth when the mother was home. Lisa as she was affectionately called, may have escaped her sisters' wrath when she entered her teen years. Being a beautiful little one, those years and beyond were punctuated by trials and tribulations. She attracted more than her fair share of lusts, unwelcomed advances from men of all ages, some older than her father. Filled with rose-tinted romances and starry-eyed fantasies, her introduction to the world of men was a baptism in abject deception. Peter, her philandering friend, introduced her to eroticism and stole her innocence in the process, but their short-lived romance ended abruptly when the revealed truth, crushed her fragile ego like a luckless butterfly. The reality revealed that he was as dubiously dirty as he was a slick talker who took women from the ivory tower to the gutter of rejection in zero seconds flat. She was no match for the guile of this fountain of well-dressed lies. The misogynistic men with whom she partnered, came with mouths full of lies, lustful desires, and after intimacy, she was left with anything ranging from a mounting pile of badly shattered emotions to a cocktail of venereal diseases. Several times during her adult life, Lisa's journey took her to the precipice of destitution, but on some occasions, she was mercifully snatched from the edge of an abysmal desolation. Eventually, she woke from the nightmare and with her boss's guidance, she was on the way to the dawn of affluence, but the journey was fraught with dangers and misfortunes. Will she for her family's sake, eventually triumph after numerous diversions and their resulting failures, or will she ultimately uncover that elusive self-made victory over many adversities? Please join her on the epic journey, as only time will tell how her story unfolds.
