"When I finished reading Our Prayers After the Fire I saw that my fists were clenched tight. I'd been trying to grab a fistful, punch my way in. I wanted to get inside this book, figure out how it did what it did. I felt grateful and jealous, two of my favorite emotions when reading. Now my fists are open, my palms out. Katie Jean Shinkle is a writer who makes you beg for more, more, more." -Lindsay Hunter
