With the Fire on High is Elizabeth Acevedo's unflinching novel about Emoni Santiago, a young aspiring-chef who got pregnant her freshman year of high school. Emoni finds solace in cooking, even as she juggles motherhood, school, and caring for her abuela. Like Tiny Pretty Things, With the Fire on High is a powerful coming-of-age tale about a woman of colour finding herself through art.
