Fire in the Heart traces one woman's transformation from a shy schoolgirl into a career wildlands firefighter. The narrative pairs gritty, technical scenes of frontline firefighting with reflective passages about who we become under pressure.

Her career takes her from Florida swamps to Alaska's interior and into some of the most dangerous fires on record. When a close friend dies in the Storm King Mountain blaze, she confronts survivor's guilt and the question of whether to keep fighting or step away.

The book blends action, friendship, loss and identity into a candid personal account of courage, endurance and the emotional cost of life-threatening work.
