Everywhere that Shirley Winters went, there were fires. And death. And destruction.
Shirley Baron Winters is a rare type of criminal - a female serial arsonist and serial killer. She does not fit the profile of "arsonist" and she is not a "typical" female serial killer. Like fire, she is an enigma: Made up of various elements, she ruthlessly destroyed everything she touched.
For the first time, Shirley Winters discusses what could have created such a "monster" - the pain, anger, happiness, abuse, love. She has spent most of her life incarcerated or hospitalized for a variety of issues. She has murdered at least four children. And set fires. A lot of fires.
