'An inspirational memoir from an extraordinary woman . . . A
humbling, jaw-dropping read' Viv Groskop 'This book challenges
assumptions about who firefighters are, and about what women can
do' The Guardian 'This book will change the way you think. Forever'
Cosmopolitan Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton has been a firefighter for
eighteen years. She decides which of her colleagues rush into a
burning building and how they confront the blaze. She makes the
call to evacuate if she believes the options have been exhausted or
that the situation has escalated beyond hope. Taking us to the very
heart of firefighting, she immerses us in this extraordinary world;
from scenes of devastation and crisis, through triumphs of bravery,
to the quieter moments when she questions herself. Revealing her
own story for the very first time, she recounts her years spent
sleeping rough and her passion for a career that allows her to
rescue others as she was never rescued herself. This book is the
result of everything she has learnt about how we respond in our
most extreme moments. 'An inspirational woman' Good Housekeeping
'Gripping, heart-stopping and profoundly reassuring' Sue Black,
author of All That Remains
