Center gives us a complex woman to root for,  and she is a real heroine: a firefighter and EMT dealing with sexism in a very male dominated profession. When her family and personal history force her to move across the country and start over in a new fire department,  Cassie discovers new ways to address her past and build a new future.

This book was fabulous and addressed some potentially sensitive topics in a constructive, relatable way without sensationalizing suffering. There are some topics that may be sensitive to certain groups but the detail the author used surrounding those topics was not overly graphic or distasteful!
