Author

Sandra Millers Younger

Sandra Younger lost her home, twelve neighbors, and almost her own life in the 2003 Cedar Fire-for fourteen years the biggest wildfire in modern California history and a harbinger of today's even more extreme climate-driven fire catastrophes.A powerful storyteller and career magazine journalist, Sandra felt compelled to capture the Cedar Fire story for posterity, documenting the event from the perspectives of both the firefighters battling the fire and the public caught in its path. First published in 2013, The Fire Outside My Window: A Survivor Tells the Story of California's Historic Cedar Fire, has been hailed as required reading for residents of wildfire country, adopted as a training text for top-level emergency professionals, and featured by national media. Sandra is also an international speaker and certified professional coach, working with disaster survivors and emergency leaders to build resilience and maximize potential. She and her husband, Bob, live near San Diego in Wildcat Canyon, the area worst hit by the Cedar Fire. They share two daughters, two sons-in-law, and three grandchildren, plus assorted Newfoundland dogs.
