Before it made global headlines as the small town that burned down during a record-breaking heat wave in June 2021, Lytton, British Columbia, had a curious past. This book is the story of Lytton, told from a shared perspective, of an Indigenous playwright and the journalist son of a settler doctor. Portrayed with all the warmth, humour and sincerity of small-town life, the colourful little town that burned to the ground could be every town's warning if we don't take seriously what this unique place has to teach us.
