I can count on two hands the number of times my daughter has slept through the night since she was born nearly nine years ago. The day I brought her home from the hospital, I laid her down for a nap, tightly swaddled the way I’d been taught. She dozed off quickly, but a few minutes later, she began to cry. I checked her diaper, offered milk, and rocked her, but nothing worked. She cried harder, arching her back and wagging the fragile egg of her head to and fro. This went on for an agonizing 20 minutes, until abruptly…

In a strip of soil outside my house, between the sidewalk and the curb, there’s a living symbol of the seasons. In winter, it is a sleeping skeleton, branches bare except for the occasional mantle of ice or snow. In early spring, tufts of pale leaves burst from gray bark. By summer, its overlapping foliage is a vivid green, fluttering in the slightest breeze. Around this time every year, it gradually catches fire, tinges of red spreading through the cells of each leaf until they all glow. As the maple tree finishes reabsorbing its stores of chlorophyll and sealing itself…

On August 24, just after she’d brought her 7-year-old son home from school, she spotted a red band of flames speeding across the treetops, crackling like static on the world’s largest television. She had time only to hand off her son to a neighbor and herd the family’s four dogs into a horse trailer hooked to their pickup. (Their cat, Windy, she plopped into an unzipped backpack.) As she and her neighbor caravanned out through the backwoods, fire filled her rearview mirror.…
