Not Everything Burns with Carrie Karuhn

A wildfire can erase a neighborhood in hours, but the aftermath can take years and it rarely looks the way people imagine. I sit down with author Carrie Karuhn to talk about the real events behind her novel Not Everything Burns, inspired by the 2007 Malibu fire that destroyed her home and took the animals she loved most.We chat about why Carrie chose fiction over memoir.  We dig into what the title really means, why she calls the novel a love story, and how accountability became part of her healing when the fire was sparked by reckless decisions. Carrie shares what it was like to get the call that “everything is gone,” the painful uncertainty around her pets’ last moments, and the small details that eventually offered solace. We also explore the human-animal bond through premonitions, a single white rose blooming in a torched garden.Tune in if you care about pet loss, wildfire recovery, grief support, resilience, and the real-world costs of disaster, this conversation will stay with you. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves dogs, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show."Not Everything Burns" (She Writes Press, Nov. 10, 2026),Send us Fan MailSupport the showFollow The Baroo:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/baroopup/Blog- https://www.thebaroo.com/Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/baroopet/   Pet parent question or story of canine companionship  to share ?
