Now hear his side of the story…. Wildfires are dangerous—but the worst comes after. Desperate for a drastic change in my life, I accept a job on the Boulder Mountain Hotshot crew—a formidable hand crew that fights front lines of wildfires in Washington—and push all of my thoughts into work. I don’t expect to make friends, but the crew quickly becomes my family. When I’m facing down a wildfire, there’s no room to think about what I’ve lost. In the heat of the moment, I can forget those who tore away pieces of my soul: my best friend, my father, my ex-fiancée. Action over thought. After? Grief is the only echo. Eventually, everything runs cold and awareness floods back in. When the smoke clears, I’ll have to deal with everything—and everyone—I’ve been pushing away. Something Sacred can be read as a standalone. less
