The critically acclaimed author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Horse Whisperer presents his millions of fans with yet another hero in this searing tale of love and devotion, shame and honor.
Connor Ford is his name, and he descends from the skies like a merciful angel, stumbling through the flames to rescue the lady he knows he isn't meant to have. For Ed Tully, a fellow "smoke jumper" and his closest friend, Julia Bishop is his companion. Julia loves them both, but she is forced to choose between them when a horrific catastrophe on Montana's Snake Mountain leaves a mark on their hearts.
Following the fire, Connor sets out on a terrifying trip to the brink of human experience, visiting the most horrific conflict zones and natural calamities in order to capture pictures that bring him not only notoriety but also unhappiness. He chances death repeatedly, reckless of a life he no longer desires, until another tragic day on a another continent, when he must walk through fire once again.
