"I could not put the book down. The stories are vividly told, and shine a light into the lives of first responders, while piecing together a larger picture of purpose, meaning, and faith. If you have ever lost a loved one, tried to make sense of dreams that feel more lucid than life, or struggled to find or regain your faith, read this book."  Verified Amazon Review, September 7, 2025

"This is a book for anyone walking through trials, questioning their purpose or needing reassurance that brokenness can be turned into beauty. It's a story about finding oneself after a tragedy. The author talks about finding faith and purpose. It is a raw story of his life. I could not put it down. I enjoyed the stories about what goes on in the fire station and the comradery of the firefighters It's a book that will bring you to tears and make you laugh. A true must read!"

"Thank you, Chris for your story and the courage to put it on paper. This book includes a rare glimpse into the everyday life of a first responder, tragedy and the ups and downs of a new life after. This is one of those books that is really hard to put down as I read it in two sittings. I am also a person that has overcame obstacles in my life and I could really relate with a lot of his story. I love hearing personal stories of how people find faith and purpose in their life after dark stretches in their journey. One of the main things I came away with from this book is gratitude for the men and women who put their life on the line everyday to help people, no matter what the situation is, it's inspiring. It's a great read and I was honored to read it. Five stars." Verified Amazon Review, August 29, 2025
