Description
Three weeks before Christmas, on December 1, 1958, one of the deadliest
fires in American history broke out at Our Lady of the Angels school in
Chicago, claiming the lives of ninety-two children and three nuns. Fire Angels is a fictional account of that fire.
Fire is a central character in this story, a cunning observer that comes to
life whenever a match is lit. It’s a story of arson; of bravery by parents,
nuns, firefighters, and medical professionals who come to the rescue; of a
falsely accused janitor; of a cover-up within the Catholic Church; of a judge
who, in having to determine the juvenile arsonist’s fate, is torn between
loyalty to his church and justice; of a tight-knit community changed forever;
and of a romance between two survivors who fall in love, and eventually marry—at
Our Lady of the Angels church.
