Fire Fall — J.D. Glass
From the ground-breaking author of Punk Like Me and Punk and Zen, comes the powerful story of Bennie Grego, an EMT by day and comic book artist by night who is forced to make an impossible decision.
There's not much more dangerous or exciting than being a New York City emergency medical technician -- unless you add being a smokejumper during fire season. It's all about saving lives one way or another, holding the line against fire, disaster, and death.
Saving lives is what Benadette “Bennie” Grego knows, and she's damn good at it. Her Nana keeps her gear repaired and blesses Bennie with holy water whenever she leaves on assignment. The work is hazardous, but Bennie loves helping people. And when she's not saving lives, Bennie pursues her true passion: drawing comics.
Her best friend Tori, has her back out on the ambulance as they roam the NYC streets. Friend Trish Spence, who gave up the glamour of the NYC 911 scene for a full-time vocation as a smoke jumper, is Bennie's companion, backup, and sometimes even crew boss when they're out on a scene. They're close, and there's a strong chance they can get closer if things go as they could. And they should. Life is good, and Bennie can't imagine it any other way.
But a bad jump results in a devastating injury, and Bennie, whose life was changed by trauma before, must once again choose: the sirens or the superheroes?
JD Glass delivers the popular workplace, emotional scars, and injury tropes into an action-packed novel about accepting love and devotion and doing everything possible to achieve your dreams.
