A WWII novel of courage and conviction, based on the true
experience of the men who fought fires as conscientious objectors
and the women who fought prejudice to serve in the Women's Army
Corps. Since the attack on Pearl Harbor, Gordon Hooper and his
buddy Jack Armitage have stuck to their values as conscientious
objectors. Much to their families' and country's chagrin, they
volunteer as smokejumpers rather than enlisting, parachuting into
and extinguishing raging wildfires in Oregon. But the number of
winter blazes they're called to seems suspiciously high, and when
an accident leaves Jack badly injured, Gordon realizes the facts
don't add up. A member of the Women's Army Corps, Dorie Armitage
has long been ashamed of her brother's pacifism, but she's shocked
by news of his accident. Determined to find out why he was harmed,
she arrives at the national forest under the guise of conducting an
army report . . . and finds herself forced to work with Gordon. He
believes it's wrong to lie; she's willing to do whatever it takes
for justice to be done. As they search for clues, Gordon and Dorie
must wrestle with their convictions about war and peace and decide
what to do with the troubling secrets they discover.
