Produktinformationen zu „Fire in the Heart (ePub)“
FIRE IN THE HEART is a powerful memoir by a woman, once a shy, insecure schoolgirl, who reinvented herself as a professional wildland fire fighter. Determined to forge herself into a stronger, braver person, Mary climbs to new heights for a woman in the field in the 90s, eventually becoming a team commander of a Florida wildfire division. Filled with literal struggles for survival, tough choices and Mary's burning passion for what she does, Fire in the Heart, is an unflinching account of one woman's relationship with fire. But when she loses someone she loves to the famous Storm King Mountain forest fire in Colorado, which killed fourteen firefighters, Mary faces the hardest choice of her life; to stay in the game or turn back and try to find the woman she used to be. It is both a thrilling memoir about life-threatening work and a meditation on identity, strength, bravery, bonds, and survivor's guilt.

Pressezitat
“Emerick vividly recounts the extremely taxing physical requirements, the deadly conditions firefighters consistently endure, and the ever present lure of adventure and camaraderie each fire provides. . . . A moving and bittersweet memoir of a woman’s love affair with a unique profession.” —Kirkus Reviews“This is a story of love, friendship, wildfire, and death written in vivid prose fresh from the fireline . . . There’s as much heart as fire in this book.” —John N. Maclean, author of Fire on the Mountain: The True Story of the South Canyon Fire, and other books
“Masterful! A beautiful, gripping exploration of Mary Emerick’s twenty-five-year journey through the insular, dangerous, hyper-masculine world of wildfire. In riveting prose, Emerick writes of what she gave up–and what she gained–by choosing a life as a wildland firefighter. Fire in the Heart is a thoughtful meditation on the impact of wildland fire suppression on the American landscape, and on one woman’s heart. I love this book!” —Mary Pauline Lowrey, author of Wildfire: A Novel
“A mesmerizing and compelling story of fire and courage and love and transformation.” —Pamela Royes, author of Temperance Creek, a memoir
