Descending Fire: The story behind the stories

Descending Fire is a powerful and moving glimpse into the writing journey of the late Sherryl Jordan, one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most beloved YA and children’s authors. Author of The Raging Quiet, Winter of Fire and Rocco, among others, Sherryl’s writing journey was both fraught and awe-inspiring. Her story is one of resilience, faith, dogged determination and divine inspiration. She would embark on journeys with her characters who often came to her fully formed, with desires and opinions of their own. This story behind her stories is Sherryl’s treasured legacy for anyone passionate about writing and the creative process, and the perils, pains and boundless joys of living a life dedicated to your craft.
