A profound exploration of the oceanic depths of longing and obsession, Make It Scream, Make It Burn
is a book about why and how we tell stories. It takes the reader deep
into the lives of strangers – from a woman healed by the song of ‘the
loneliest whale in the world’ to a family convinced their child is a
reincarnation of a lost pilot – and asks how we can bear witness to the
changing truths of others’ lives while striving to find a deeper
connection to the complexities of our own.
