Book Reviews of The Fireman's Wife: A Memoir
Book Review: Fabulous!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic book!! I fell in love with the fireman's wife and their relationship right from the start. It's a story of true love, devotion and strong family values from which all people can benefit.
This is one of the easiest books I've ever read and I can't wait for more from her. Tears streamed from my eyes both from sadness and wholehearted laughter.
Since 9-11, we are ever more aware of how much our firefighters and police officers do to serve us, selflessly. Dan's story is wonderful and pure and likely indicative of so many of our nation's civil servants. The unique perspective from which this story is told reflects the strong women and men who support them from behind the scenes. What a gift. I am so glad that she shared their wonderful story with the world! Truly, this is a must read:)
Summary of The Fireman's Wife: A Memoir
Susan Farren didn+t plan on marrying a fireman. Having herself spent several years as a paramedic, she knew too well the dangers of the emergency profession. But as fate would have it, she met Dan-and everything changed.Suddenly she was married to a man who had wanted to be a fireman ever since he was a child, and she found herself faced with the sacrifices and struggles that accompany this challenging career. Being a fireman+s wife meant relocating her family, living without her husband for days at a time, and wondering every time she heard a siren if he would make it home safely. Ultimately, it also meant receiving the phone call every fireman+s wife fears may come: the news that her husband had been in an accident.Susan speaks on behalf of thousands of firemen+s wives nationwide-the women who hold down the fort while their husbands are on the job. Their sacrifice is our gain, and for the first time, this book tells their story.Memoirs Books
