As one of the only female firefighters in her Texas firehouse, she's seen her fair share of them, and she's a total pro at other people's tragedies. But when her estranged and ailing mother asks her to give up her whole life and move to Boston, Cassie suddenly has an emergency of her own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tough, old-school Boston firehouse is as different from Cassie's old job as it could possibly be. 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 she can't think about that. Because love is girly, and it’s not her thing. And don’t forget the advice her old captain gave her: \u003ci\u003eNever date firefighters. \u003c\/i\u003eCassie can feel her resolve slipping...and it means risking it all—the only job she’s ever loved, and the hero she’s worked like hell to become.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKatherine Center's \u003ci\u003eThings You Save in a Fire\u003c\/i\u003e 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, at last, for yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThings You Save in a Fire:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne of:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post's \u003c\/i\u003e\"The 10 Books to Read in 2019 Based on What You Loved in 2018\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Hollywood Reporter's\u003c\/i\u003e \"2019 Books to Keep on Your Radar\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShe Reads'\u003c\/i\u003e \"Most Anticipated Books of 2019\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGood Housekeeping's \u003c\/i\u003e\"25 Best New Books of Summer 2019\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUSA Today's\u003c\/i\u003e \"Must Read Women's Fiction of 2019\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookbub's\u003c\/i\u003e \"31 of the Biggest Books Coming Out This Summer\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Nerd Daily's\u003c\/i\u003e \"Most Anticipated Reads of 2019\"\u003cbr\u003eAn August 2019 LibraryReads Pick! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Oh, how I love Katherine Center’s writing\u003c\/b\u003e…and her newest novel is a gem...a story that reminds us that the word emergency has, at its heart, a new beginning.\u003cb\u003e  Just read it, and thank me later.”\u003c\/b\u003e —Jodi Picoult, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eA Spark of Light\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSmall Great Things\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Center gives readers a \u003cb\u003esharp and witty \u003c\/b\u003eexploration of love and forgiveness that is at once\u003cb\u003e insightful, entertaining, and thoroughly addictive.”\u003c\/b\u003e —\u003ci\u003eKirkus, \u003c\/i\u003estarred review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A compelling love story, a tearjerking twist, and a thoroughly absorbing story. \u003cb\u003eAnother winner from Center.\"\u003c\/b\u003e —\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An \u003cb\u003eemotionally resonant and deeply satisfying love story\u003c\/b\u003e...a moving testament to the power of forgiveness.\" —\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003cb\u003eA spirited, independent heroine\u003c\/b\u003e meets a smoking-hot fireman in Center’s smart romance… If you enjoyed ‘The Kiss Quotient,’ by Helen Hoang, \u003cb\u003eread \u003ci\u003eThings You Save in a Fire\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e”’   — \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Center crafts\u003cb\u003e a heartfelt story of growth and the redemptive power of love \u003c\/b\u003eperfect for fans of women’s fiction, especially works by Jodi Picoult and Elin Hilderbrand.” —\u003ci\u003e Library Journal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eThe novel is at its best in the fire station\u003c\/b\u003e...its window into firefighter culture is fascinating.
