The #1 New York Times bestseller! "Witty, wise, and tender. It's a
marvel." -Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train and A Slow
Fire Burning "To say I love this book is an understatement. It's a
deep psychological mystery about the power of motherhood, the
intensity of teenage love, and the danger of perfection. It moved
me to tears." -Reese Witherspoon From the bestselling author of
Everything I Never Told You and Our Missing Hearts comes a riveting
novel that traces the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect
Richardson family and the enigmatic mother and daughter who upend
their lives. In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of
Cleveland, everything is planned-from the layout of the winding
roads, to the colors of the houses, to the successful lives its
residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more
than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the
rules. Enter Mia Warren-an enigmatic artist and single mother-who
arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl,
and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become
more than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the
mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past
and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend this
carefully ordered community. When old family friends of the
Richardsons attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody
battle erupts that dramatically divides the town-and puts Mia and
Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena
is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her
obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs. Little
Fires Everywhere explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art
and identity, and the ferocious pull of motherhood-and the danger
of believing that following the rules can avert disaster. Named a
