Isma is finally free: after years taking care of her twin brothers since her mother's death, her dream of studying in the United States has come true. But she can't stop worrying about her sister Aneeka, as beautiful as she is stubborn; her brother Parvaiz, who has made her worst nightmare come true and left London to join ISIS; and her father, an infamous jihadist. Then Eamonn, the privileged son of a powerful British politician, appears in her life, and soon the fates of both families becomes inextricably, terribly linked. Home Fire deals with topical themes of civil disobedience, loyalty, and legality in its quest to respond to the question, What would you be willing to sacrifice for love?
