Customer Reviews
2018 Apocalypse
Being apart of what felt like the apocalypse of that time this book brings so many stories and factual issues I didn’t know about. We’ll done!
An intimate look
I also lived through the Woolsey fire. Malibu Burning is an intimate, honest, and heart felt telling of the stories of residents of Malibu who fought the fire. It’s about a community that was simultaneously expecting and completely unprepared for the “big one.” It weaves history and personal stories as context and back drop for the harrowing tales of the most destructive fire in Los Angeles county.
