Making of a Serial Arsonist

The novel addresses the characteristics of those "e;stand up"e; people who have the moral fiber to confront societal issues such as snitching-or, in her words, turning a blind eye to the truth and integrity. Just as importantly, the author invites the readers to examine the fabric of a person who is driven by an obsessive need to belong and to be accepted by others. This book begs the question as to whether such an individual can face the person looking back at him in the mirror.
