5*  This book really depicts the life of a young lady named Elle.  Her and her family witnessed the aftermath of 911. This stirred up the desire of wanting to devote her life to help and rescue. Her  brothers all determined to want to help people, too. Follow after their dads steps. A fireman. The only prob is that Elle had the same desires as her male counterparts, and her parents were not very encouraging. Through many different phases, graduating high school, college course decisions, and the pursuit of her dream to be a fireman/woman. The difficulties and the transformation to acceptance by her fellow firefighters, well described.  Elle being introverted and having the discriminating undercurrents of being female, she had much to overcome. But, there is something to be said of this quiet trait, as extroverts put it all out there, her take was one that was externally gentle. She used this in many matters of her life such as proper rest, when others were running to clubs, running on empty. This book shows that there is value to each persons make up. You can use what others may think is a flaw to an excellent advantage. Great read, good story and insights. Enjoy this!!
