Description
When a devastating fire threatens the future of the Lynton Stone Art Centre, Jess and her lifelong best friend Lottie are forced to rethink everything they have built together.
What begins as a crisis soon becomes the start of something unexpected. With five young artists suddenly needing new homes, Jess finds herself surrounded by fresh voices, complicated emotions, and people who slowly begin to change the quiet shape of her life.
Still carrying the weight of old grief, Jess has learned to keep control, keep busy, and keep her heart protected. But as friendships deepen and the art centre becomes more than just a place of work, she is drawn into a journey of healing, connection, and rediscovering what it means to belong.
Warm, emotional, and character-driven, It Started with a Fire is a heartfelt story about friendship, found family, creativity, loss, love, and the unexpected ways life can begin again.
