What We Carry After the Fire
Reflections on Loss and Resilience
What happens after everything burns?
What We Carry After the Fire is a powerful and intimate collection of interconnected stories that explore grief, trauma, and the quiet work of survival. Told through the voice of a Hispanic man reflecting on his childhood and adulthood, these stories trace the lasting impact of loss, domestic violence, and childhood sexual abuse—not through shock or spectacle, but through honesty, restraint, and emotional precision.
