inside the hero
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
If you want to explore the humanity beneath the "American hero"--the moral complexity of decisions, the hopes, dreams, and disappointments--then this is the book for you. After the Fire's wealth of behind-the-scenes details place you right on the burning hillside with the firejumpers,while the haunted reflections of the protagonist connect to every person's struggle to make sense of loss. The simple wisdom that comes with an earned resolution will surprise you.
Wonderful writer

What a wonderful first book! I was hooked the moment I opened and read the first page. Robinson takes you inside Barnes life and keeps you there. You feel his sadness at losing his crew, you see the ghosts that haunt him, but more importantly, Robinson puts you in the middle of the fire that starts all of this. It was a book I couldn't put down.
