Not many survived after the fire, only a few. Jane, Laura, Derek and Mary Hales. Their younger sister cora was presumed dead. The Hale siblings but none of them lived close to each other apart from Derek and Mary. Jane decided to go back to her home town after she got the devestating news from her brother Derek about their sister Laura. This is Jane's story, the oldest of the Hale siblings mixed with some from the other siblings POV's so yeah enjoy I don't own any of the characters apart from Jane and Mary hale
