β¦ Synopsis
Linda Strader is one of the first women hired on a fire crew with the U.S. Forest Service. A naΓ―ve twenty-year-old in the mid 1970s, she discovers fighting wildfires is challengingβbut in a manβs world, they became only one of the challenges she would face. Battling fire is exhilarating, yet exhausting; the discrimination real and sometimes in her face. Summers of Fire is an adventure story that honestly recounts the seven years she ventures into the heart of fires that scorch the land, vibrant friendships that fire the soul, and deep love that ends in devastating heartbreak.
