Book Overview: 

Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center is a heartfelt and emotionally charged novel about courage, forgiveness, and the power of love in unexpected places. The story centers on Cassie Hanwell, a tough, skilled firefighter in Austin, Texas, who thrives in a male-dominated profession and prides herself on her composure and independence. She’s used to emergencies—but not emotional ones.

When her estranged mother reaches out asking for help, Cassie is forced to uproot her life and transfer to a small firehouse in a conservative Massachusetts town. There, she faces resistance from a crew that’s unwelcoming to female firefighters, a stark contrast to her former team. The challenges only intensify when she finds herself drawn to a rookie firefighter—someone who is off-limits for more reasons than one.

As Cassie struggles to prove herself and navigate the complexities of her past, including a trauma she’s long buried, she begins to learn that vulnerability isn’t weakness and that love—real, healing love—might be the bravest thing of all.

Blending humor, heartache, and hope, Things You Save in a Fire is a moving story about resilience and the courage it takes to let go of the past in order to embrace the future. Katherine Center crafts a powerful narrative that reminds readers that sometimes the hardest battles are the ones we fight within ourselves.
