Krystal narrowly escaped by breaking a window and jumping out head-first, suffering burns, smoke inhalation, PTSD, and the unimaginable tragedy of losing her six-year-old sister. But horrific as events were, the account of what led the family to that fatal night, and how they coped with its aftermath, is a richer and more complex story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWriting with skill and candour to find light in the darkest of places, this is Krystal Evans' story of growing up poor in America, living with a mentally ill mother, and having a wolf for a pet (really). From the indignities of being rejected from 'burn camp' for being 'too attractive', to putting up with a succession of her mum's increasingly dangerous and shady friends and partners, Krystal and her sister Katie's childhoods were marked by adult chaos, inappropriate behaviour, and never knowing what the next day would bring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Hottest Girl at Burn Camp\u003c\/i\u003e is Krystal's story of how she grew from the ashes of disaster into the confident, funny, and (reasonably) well-hinged adult, mother, and comedian that she is today. At the same time, funny, tragic, and inspiring, it is the story of a family dangerously close to the edge, and of a girl struggling to make her way into adulthood, once the smoke clears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46369550074092,"sku":"9781800962736","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781800962736.jpg?v=1744788742"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/krystal-evans.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
