"No Grass" by Shawna Legarza
In Shawna Legarza's memoir, No Grass, the rough and dangerous world of being a "hotshot" wildland firefighter is revealed in a compelling, funny, and often moving book of love and loss. From her comfortable life on a large cattle ranch in Nevada to the raw and gritty existence on the battlefield of forest fires, Legarza pulls her readers into the action until we feel the heat. We learn how her life changes when she joins the World Trade Center Recovery Efforts and must live every day with the tragedy of massive human loss. It is here that she meets another wildland firefighter, the man who will become her husband. When he takes his own life, she is left with both a profound sense of loss and a dogged determination to find a way for these brave men and women to receive the psychological and physical support they need and deserve when in crisis.
