β¦ Synopsis
Itβs June 1970. As the low country of South Carolina burns in a seven-month drought, Cassie Johnson longs for escape: both from her husband, Peck, the townβs newly promoted fire chief, who seems more interested in saving everyone elseβs life than in living his own, and from the low country marshes where Cassie has never quite felt at home. But as Peck and Cassie drift apart, their teenage daughter, Kelly, finds herself torn between her parents and her desperate need for normalcy. It will take a tumultuous journey back to the North Carolina mountains before Cassie can begin to understand the complicated love that resides, unrecognized, deep in her heart.
From a masterly voice in Southern fiction, The Firemanβs Wife is an emotionally bare and moving novel about one womanβs struggle to do whatβs rightβfor her family, for her love, and for herself.
