I would like to thank NetGalley, Thomas Nelson the publishing company and also Jason Sautel. I was very excited to be approved to read this wonderful book and give my feedback. I am a firefighter's wife, I knew going into the book some of the terminology, the closeness of brother and sisterhood of being a part of a family such as the fire department. It's amazing!
Reading Jason's stories was heart wrenching, I myself have not seen these type of incidents but I know my husband has and I know how the calls can weigh on his heart. He has been a part of the fire department for over 34 years. He has seen all kinds of things, things we don't discuss because of the nature of the calls. Like Jason I can see in my husbands eyes how this very rewarding but yet heart wrenching job can cause stress, depression etc . I call Jason a hero just as I call my husband a hero. Firemen and women do not see themselves as a hero. To them it's saving lives and helping others. This story warmed my heart and my heart went out to Jason. Reading his struggles through life was eye opening but he is a true hero. I was rooting for Jason throughout the whole book. It was a true page turner for me. Not wanting to give away too much I'm so happy that at the ending of the book Jason fights his demons and finds happiness., The book made me cry, made me smile and left a warm feeling inside. I cannot thank you enough for allowing me to read this wonderful book. Once published I will be buying my husband and stepsons this book. My stepsons are both firefighter and I believe they would truly enjoy and appreciate Jason's story. Thank you Jason for sharing your life with us.

Well, you know it’s not good when we start out… I really hate to ding an author especially when they’ve poured themselves into a book but… this was not good. It has the potential to be an incredible story but I feel like I read the rough draft before any editor touched it. The merging of past and present repeatedly was like car crashes coming out of nowhere. It has powerful emotional possibilities but it badly needs someone to step in and reorganize the writing. The writing style is very immature with no true sense of self-reflection considering the book is marketed as someone aware they were in need of rescue. I sincerely hope the publisher considers reorganizing this book.
