What if bearing witness was the only weapon left?
On Liberation Day, the fireworks over a dozen American cities are not a celebration. They are an attack — and fourteen-year-old Alex Harmon's family will spend the next three years learning exactly how far a government will go to bury that truth.
As her father, a veteran still carrying his own war, leads their family north across the Canadian border, Alex keeps the one record no one can redact: her journal. What she and her brothers uncover — a buried DIA warning, a chain of command that leads to the White House itself — becomes the evidence a fractured country needs, and the target that could get them all killed.
Fireworks of the Fallen is a novel about a family that chooses to remember when remembering is dangerous, and about the long, unglamorous work of making the truth impossible to ignore.
