Practical and positive, empathetic and empowered, Fire Wife provides solid solutions for those who need answers to the unique challenges fire couples face. When Tara's husband told her he wanted to be a firefighter, she worried about the uncommon pressures they would face, including a greater risk of divorce. How, she wondered, would she navigate his shift work, the mood-swings, their own young family, and the feeling that she might have to put her own dreams on hold while he pursued his? While every fire relationship has a personality all its own, how we endure, and even thrive, during these "partnership tests" are pretty much the same. Tara has put her two decades of experience as a fire wife into a self-help book that will support and encourage you through happy times, hardship, and even health issues toward a fire relationship that is fulfilling for you both. From setting clear boundaries with your firefighter and their tight-knit fire family to communicating assertively, this book provides tools of empowerment that will get your relationship back on track. Most importantly, there are chapters dedicated just to you! You play an irreplaceable role in the fire department too, so you must learn to stand strong in your self-confidence, your life and your dreams. Let Fire Wife inspire your fire-life toward a purposeful, joyful, and satisfying future ... together!

“Be brave. Be kind. Fight fires.” That’s the motto of firefighters, like Hersch Wilson, who spend their lives walking toward, rather than away from, danger and suffering. As in Zen practice, firefighters are trained to be fully in the moment and present to each heartbeat, each life at hand. In this unique collection of true stories and practical wisdom, Wilson shares the Zen-like techniques that allow people like him to stay grounded while navigating danger, comforting others, and coping with their personal response to each crisis. Every life contains the unexpected and the unwelcome. How you cope with those inevitable events, more than the events themselves, defines the quality of your life. Firefighter Zen is an invaluable guide to meeting every day with your best calm, resilient, and optimistic self.

He helped save people every day—but he had no idea how to save himself. Jason Sautel had it all. Confident in his abilities and trusted by his fellow firefighters, he was making a name for himself on the streets of Oakland, California. His adrenaline-fueled job even helped him forget the pain of his childhood—until the day he looked into the eyes of a jumper on the Bay Bridge and came face to face with a darkness he knew would take him down as well. In the following months, a series of traumatic emergency calls—some successful, others impossible-to-forget failures—drove Jason deeper into depression. Even as he continued his lifesaving work, he realized he could never rescue everyone, and he had no idea how to save himself. In the end, Jason was forced to confront the truth: only the relentless power of love could pull him back from his own deadly fall. Action-packed, spiritually honest, and surprisingly romantic, The Rescuer transports readers inside the pulse-pounding world of firefighting and into the heart of a man who needed to be broken before he could finally be made whole.
