Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine CenterFrom the New York Times bestselling author of How to Walk Away comes a stunning new novel about family, hope, and learning to love against all odds.Cassie Hanwell was born for emergencies. As one of the only female firefighters in her Texas firehouse, she's seen her fair share of them, and she's excellent at dealing with other people's tragedies. But when her estranged and ailing mother asks her to uproot her life and move to Boston, it's an emergency of a kind Cassie never anticipated.卡西·汉威尔（Cassie Hanwell）生来就是为了应付紧急情况的。作为德克萨斯州消防站少数女性消防员当中的一个，她经验丰富，非常擅长处理别人的悲剧。但是当她关系疏远的母亲生了病，要求她搬到波士顿开始新的生活时，她必须面对她从未预料到的紧急情况。The tough, old-school Boston firehouse is as different from Cassie's old job as it could possibly be. Hazing, a lack of funding, and poor facilities mean that the firemen aren't exactly thrilled to have a "lady" on the crew, even one as competent and smart as Cassie. Except for the handsome rookie, who doesn't seem to mind having Cassie around. But she can't think about that. Because she doesn't fall in love. And because of the advice her old captain gave her: don't date firefighters. Cassie can feel her resolve slipping...but will she jeopardize her place in a career where she's worked so hard to be taken seriously?波士顿消防站的作风强硬、老派，与卡西以前的工作环境截然不同。这里资金不足，设施简陋，这也意味着消防队员们对一位“女士”加入进来不大高兴，即使是像卡西这么聪明能干的人。只有一个同样是新人的英俊同事不介意卡西的存在。卡西不能考虑这个人的事情，她可没有爱上他，她还想到了她过去的队长曾给过她的建议：不要和消防队员约会。但是，她的心理防线还是逐渐溃败了，她必须决定，自己是否宁愿危害到她一直以来付出巨大努力想要获得认可的工作，也要继续这段感情。Katherine Center's Things You Save in a Fire is a heartfelt, affecting novel about life, love, and the true meaning of courage.《火中救援》是一部感人的小说，它讲述了关于生活、爱情和勇气的故事，并探索了其中的真正意义。凯瑟琳·森特（Katherine Center）著有五部讲述爱情与家庭的苦乐参半的喜剧小说，其中包括《灾难的光明面》（The Bright Side of Disaster）、《迷失的丈夫》（The Lost Husband）和她的最新作品《初学者的幸福旅程》（Happiness for Beginners）。她的作品和文章曾见诸于《造型》（InStyle）、《红皮书》（Redbook）、《人物》（People）、《今日美国》（USA Today）、《名利场》（Vanity Fair）、《大西洋月刊》（The Atlantic）、《返璞归真》（Real Simple）、《休斯顿尼亚》（Houstonia）、《达拉斯晨报》（The Dallas Morning News）、《休斯顿新闻报》（The Houston Press）、《休斯顿纪事报》（The Houston Chronicle）及其他多部选集。曾荣登《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜首位的作家布伦·布朗（Brené Brown）这样评价凯瑟琳：“她能创作出情节跌宕起伏的故事。她是第五代德克萨斯人，所以她的作品中总透露出一些勾心斗角和鲁莽。”试听扫码下载英语电子书/音频
