Paperback. Zustand: New. WINNER OF THE 2023 IRE BOOK AWARD WINNER OF THE NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARD FOR REGIONAL NONFICTION FINALIST OF THE NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARD FOR AGING AND CAREGIVING NOMINEE OF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BOOK AWARD The dramatic story of hundreds of senior citizens left in the path of a ferocious firestorm and what the quest for accountability reveals about the increasing risks to our most vulnerable population. "A harrowing saga that pits corporate pusillanimity against dogged courage under the most difficult circumstances.in Belden and Gullixson's gripping esposé. There's cowardice in this dramatic narrative, but at heart it's about ordinary people displaying extraordinary grace under extreme pressure, all conveyed in intense, atmospheric prose. The result is a moving re-creation of a nightmarish disaster that tested the character of all those in its path." -Kirkus starred review ".a powerful work of investigative journalism about a particularly vulnerable segment of the population. Alongside an engrossing account of the emergency as it unfolded in Sonoma County, Belden and Gullixson provide a definitive account of management's woefully inadequate response at the two sister facilities. Their findings are a lesson to other care facilities-here's what not to do." -San Francisco ChronicleJust after midnight on October 9, 2017, as one of the nation's deadliest and most destructive firestorms swept over California's Wine Country, hundreds of elderly residents from two posh senior living facilities were caught in its path. The frailest were blind, in wheelchairs, or diagnosed with dementia, and their community quickly transformed from a palatial complex that pledged to care for them to one that threatened to entomb them. The rescue of the final 105 seniors left behind on an inflamed hillside depended not on employees, but strangers whose lives intersected in a riveting tale of terror and heroism. Headlines blamed caregivers for abandonment and neglect, but the truth proved far more complex-leading to a battle for accountability that stretched from the courtroom to the state legislature, and ultimately, to the ballot box. Inflamed: Abandonment, Heroism, and Outrage in Wine Country's Deadliest Firestorm is the gripping and emotional narrative detailing what happened to these seniors, employees, and rescuers before, during, and after the Tubbs Fire decimated portions of Santa Rosa, including Oakmont Senior Living Villa Capri and part of Varenna at Fountaingrove. Anne Belden and Paul Gullixson are professional journalists and Sonoma County residents who spent three years recording each phase of the disaster in agonizing detail-from the botched evacuation and its excruciating aftermath to the investigations, lawsuits, and breakdowns that followed. They tell this harrowing story with a veracity and compassion only achieved by experienced reporters with local roots. Their narrative revisits the horrors of 2017 but also asks the reader to loo.
