Feel the Burn

“Acerbic, funny, …a delightfully heightened portrayal of modern society.” Kirkus Reviews

Feel the Burn by Carra Roe is a razor-sharp satire that chronicles an affluent, dysfunctional family from New York City as they navigate the treacherous waters of modern American politics. At the center of this darkly comedic tale are three siblings: a populist brother with presidential ambitions, a progressive sister who will stop at nothing to prevent her brother's political ambitions from being realized, and a third sibling intent on keeping the peace. Meanwhile, the family’s fallen patriarch hatches a plan to restore the family's tarnished legacy, as an unlikely gatekeeper emerges with a key to both the past and the future.

Feel the Burn explores the impact of divided politics on personal relationships, the nature of family loyalty, and the often-absurd reality of contemporary American life.
