A Firefighter's Flame is a quite touching story, that's written with such great detail. From the beginning I could relate to Lennox. Her voice placed you right there in the story.Lennox is the wife of a firefighter, a mom and someone who suffers from depression and bipolar disorder. At times it seems like she's barely holding on. She endures some of the same struggles and insecurities as we all do, but with the added battles of her disorder. I truly felt for her in her times of depression and anxiety. I also loved how she fought through those times for her children.This story touches on many topics such as love, loss, hope and heartbreak. It follows Lennox from her teenage years through adulthood and alternates between past and present. Even though the theme throughout the story is sad and sometimes heartbreaking, the pages continuously turned and my need for more of the story increased as I read.The story did take on an unexpected twist and that left me anxious as to how things would work out. To travel along with Lennox on her journey of life and to see her struggle is tough. But the best part is seeing her overcome her battles, being brave and fighting for her life which is inspiring. She is truly a survivor and it's evident by the end of the story.  "They say the darkest days of your life are when you are discovering who you are and what you need."
