Summary: When the Whakaari/White Island volcano in New Zealand erupted in 2019, it shattered the lives of Stephanie Browitt and her mother, Marie. Stephanie, just 23 years old, suffered horrific burns to 70 per cent of her body and lost her younger sister, Krystal Eve, in the tragedy. Both Stephanie and her father, Paul, were placed in an induced coma, leaving Marie to face the unimaginable: the potential loss of her entire family. Then, as Marie was running from one ICU room to another, Paul lost his battle to survive. Out of the ashes is the extraordinary story of how Stephanie miraculously fought back, with her remarkable mum beside her every step of the way, and how mother and daughter were forced to find strength in each other to overcome the unthinkable.
