Books like On fire by Brown, Larry

On Fire is his first work of nonfiction, and it offers a look back at his life as a full-time firefighter. With its vivid accounts of daily trauma, readers are catapulted into the hard reality that has driven Larry Brown. As a firefighter and fireman-turned-author, husband and hunter, and father and son, Brown shares insights into the choices men face pursuing their life's work. Through his diary, he builds incrementally and forcefully to explain how one man who regularly confronted death began to burn with the desire to write about life.
