Moonbeam and several other minors survived the fire that killed sixty-seven fellow cult members. Her psychiatrist wants to help her through the trauma while an FBI agent wants answers to complete his investigation. Moonbeam just wants to know what happened to her mother.

AFTER THE FIRE is a powerful, compelling story of a girl on the brink of adulthood who knows nothing but life inside the abusive cult, what happened before and during the fire and how Moonbeam is surviving AFTER THE FIRE. Will Hill kept my interest for most of the story, but I skimmed the parts of the cult doctrines and the nitty-gritty details of the teachings because that level of detail was not material to Moonbeam’s journey.

One red flag I can’t overlook is when the psych hospital put the survivors together for unsupervised social interacted. Although doctors observed behind a two-way mirror, a sexual assaulter would NEVER be allowed to be alone with a victim, particularly a younger girl. This made me a cringe and distracted me from the storytelling. As much as I enjoyed AFTER THE FIRE, the entire book was basically Moonbeam recounting cult life before and after. Moonbeam’s psychiatric treatment took a backseat to the agent’s questions. I wish Hill had done better research of psych hospitals and PTSD treatment.

AFTER THE FIRE is a compelling, yet flawed book.

Great! It made a angry for the best reasons!
Best book for 2019 i read
I read this book in 3 days (working mom this is no easy feat). I couldn't put it down.
I enjoyed this read immensely! I found the author's style and syntax enjoyable and smooth. The plot line was compelling and thought-provoking. I teared up a couple of times, thinking of the lure and control of cults (and even some religions...).

Get it, you won't regret it.
It’s remarkable and magnificent story book! Amazing author! Keep writing more story new books! Thank you very much!! Good luck.
Will Hill doesn't pull punches in After the Fire, and that's a good thing. The book begins in the chaotic environment of a siege by the government on a religious compound only referred to as The Base by the young narrator. These undiluted scene then plunge the reader into the equally disorienting madness of a hospital trauma room where the narrator is being treated, unwillingly, by doctors for burns and other injuries. The narrative then segues into our narrator--now known as Moonbeam--uncovering the details of her life within The Base, the beliefs of the Holy Church of the Lord's Legion, the rise of Father John, and the events surrounding the siege and subsequent fire through a series of therapy sessions and flashbacks.

Moonbeam proves to be a detailed narrator of her life. She candidly discusses her life within the Legion, including her own mother's lobbying of Father John to take Moonbeam as one of his Future Wives. She tells of her crush on Nate, a mysterious stranger who arrives at The Base one day, and who disappears in the night a few years later. She recounts her impressions of Luke, the first baby born inside The Base and who eventually becomes her archenemy within the Legion. She talks of her belief in Father John and the Legion, and then her questioning of everything she's been taught once her mother is Banished and branded a Heretic by Father John.

The timeline of After the Fire isn't told in a linear fashion. Moonbeam skips around while trying desperately to avoid telling everything she knows of the events that occurred during the siege and fire. Interspersed with scenes of her encounters with fellow fire survivors--including Luke--the full scope of Moonbeam's story is revealed slowly and through layers upon layers of deceit by both herself and others. When the full truth is finally revealed, Moonbeam's and the other survivors' journeys seem all the more remarkable as the reader is once again reminded that Moonbeam and her Brothers and Sisters are still only children.

Will Hill weaves a fascinating thriller that keeps you wanting to read the next page. At no point did I feel the narrative dragging or unraveling at any pace other than the one set by Hill. Definitely worthy of a solitary read but even better if chosen for a book club discussion setting.
