Those Who Favor Fire: People feel at home in Belle Haven, and in many ways it is like any other small town, with a café where regulars come for the fresh cinnamon rolls and to talk about the weather, or one another, often staying all day. It`s a town with the usual collection of quirky characters--the people everyone knows who, by staying in one place long enough, have become part of its landscape. But what sets Belle Haven apart is its especially strong sense of community, which is both strengthened and tested by the uncontrollable mine fire that burns below the town. Sometimes it breaks through the earth`s surface to swallow somebody`s garden or a garbage can, even a beloved pet, or to threaten a house. Those Who Favor Fire is the love story of Rachel Hearn, who has lived in Belle Haven all her life, and the man everyone calls Just Joe, who has arrived only recently--and the story of their love for the town that has brought them together. But as the fire intensi-fies, endangering Belle Haven and its people, it also threatens what Joe and Rachel have found together. Though some reluctantly consider relocating, Rachel refuses to leave the only place she`s ever called home, the place that holds her richest memories. But Joe knows the danger of becoming too firmly rooted in a place. Ultimately, Rachel and Joe must decide whether to abandon their beloved town. In her wonderful debut novel, Lauren Wolk has created a town every bit as real as the Mitford of Jan Karon`s novels and populated it with characters as quirky, lively, and endearing as Fannie Flagg`S.From the Hardcover edition.

Those Who Favor Fire Wolk, Lauren, Fannie Flagg meets Stephen King in this love story of small-town life where Americana and the American nightmare converge. A fire is burning below ground in Belle Haven, in abandoned mine shafts, occasionally coming up for air and to swallow a house or car or pet. Rachel Hearn has lived here all of her life, except for one interlude away at college -- a time she would rather forget. Her new friend, the stranger everyone in town calls Just Joe, has recently found his way here, having traded in his Jaguar for a motor home on the way. He is fleeing to a place he should be fleeing from, yet he is strangely attracted to this town, with its cast of curious, independent characters -- insiders who would be outsiders anywhere else. Those Who Favor Fire is more than a novel that turns on a universal theme -- love of one's own home plus fear of change -- it is a testament to Lauren Wolk's superb skills as a writer that she has made this fascinating story both believable and very entertaining.

Outwardly the very model of small-town America, Belle Haven is literally sitting on top of ruin. For more than ten years a fire has raged underground throughout the area, defeating all attempts to seal it off. Burning its way through old mine shafts, manifesting itself in ominous, sometimes lethal ways, it moves inexorably closer to the population of Belle Haven. Yet the independent, eccentric residents resist leaving, led by the late-blooming young rebel, Rachel, who is back in her hometown following the sudden deaths of her parents. A voice of reason is Joe, a mysterious twentysomething newcomer on the run from a terrible past, who has fallen in love with both Belle Haven and Rachel. Though some episodic stretches and windy exposition slow the momentum, the tensions of romance, looming disaster, and rocky relationships among a raft of believable characters keep the plot moving along.
