Firefighter-Focused Essentials

"Things You Save in a Fire," a stunning new audiobook by the New York Times best-selling author of "How to Walk Away," is a wonderful story of forgiveness, friendship, love, and hope. In this charming listen, narrator Therese Plummer portrays Cassie Hanwell, a confident and talented firefighter whose solitary life is upended when her estranged mother asks her to relocate to Boston (AudioFile Magazine).

Cassie Hanwell was born for emergencies. As one of the only female firefighters in her Texas firehouse, she has seen her fair share of them and is a total pro at dealing with other people's tragedies. However, when her estranged and ailing mother asks her to give up her whole life and move to Boston, Cassie suddenly finds herself facing an emergency of her own.

The tough, old-school Boston firehouse Cassie is assigned to is vastly different from her previous job. Hazing, a lack of funding, and poor facilities mean that the firemen aren't exactly thrilled to have a "lady" on the crew - even one as competent and smart as Cassie. Except for the infatuation-inspiring rookie, who doesn't seem to mind having Cassie around. But Cassie can't allow herself to think about that, as she firmly believes that love is girly and not her thing. After all, her old captain gave her the advice to never date firefighters.

As Cassie navigates the challenges of her new environment and the unexpected feelings she's experiencing, she can feel her resolve slipping. This means risking it all - the only job she's ever loved, and the hero she's worked like hell to become.

Katherine Center's "Things You Save in a Fire" is a heartfelt and healing tour de force about the strength of vulnerability, the nourishing magic of forgiveness, and the life-changing power of defining courage for oneself. This audiobook, one of the 2019 Amazon.com Best Books of the Year, is a captivating exploration of the power of human connections and the transformative journey of self-discovery.

Through the skilled narration of Therese Plummer, readers are taken on an immersive and emotional journey alongside Cassie as she faces her past, embraces her present, and finds the courage to embrace an uncertain future. This poignant and uplifting tale is a must-listen for anyone seeking a story that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of love.
