Sharp and captivating, Who by Fire deftly explores what happens when people try to rescue one another. Bits and Ash were children when the kidnapping of their younger sister, Alena-an incident for which Ash blames himself-caused an irreparable family rift. Thirteen years later, Ash is living as an Orthodox Jew in Israel, cutting himself off from his mother, Ellie, and his wild-child sister, Bits. But soon he may have to face them again; Alena's remains have finally been uncovered. Now Bits is traveling across the world in a bold and desperate attempt to bring her brother home and salvage what's left of their family.
