Specificatii
Soon to be a major motion picture. A "unique and bracing"
(Booklist) first-person account by the sole survivor of Arizona's
disastrous 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire, which took the lives of 19
"hotshots"--firefighters trained specifically to battle wildfires.
Brendan Mc Donough was on the verge of becoming a hopeless,
inveterate heroin addict when he, for the sake of his young
daughter, decided to turn his life around. He enlisted in the
Granite Mountain Hotshots, a team of elite firefighters based in
Prescott, Arizona. Their leader, Eric Marsh, was in a desperate
crunch after four hotshots left the unit, and perhaps seeing a
glimmer of promise in the skinny would-be recruit, he took a chance
on the unlikely Mc Donough, and the chance paid off. Despite the
crew's skepticism, and thanks in large part to Marsh's firm but
loving encouragement, Mc Donough unlocked a latent drive and
dedication, going on to successfully battle a number of blazes and
eventually win the confidence of the men he came to call his
brothers. Then, on June 30, 2013, while Mc Donough--"Donut" as he'd
been dubbed by his team--served as lookout, they confronted a
freak, 3, 000-degree inferno in nearby Yarnell, Arizona. The
relentless firestorm ultimately trapped his hotshot brothers,
tragically killing all 19 of them within minutes. Nationwide, it
was the greatest loss of firefighter lives since the 9/11 attacks.
Granite Mountain is a gripping memoir that traces Mc Donough's
story of finding his way out of the dead end of drugs, finding his
purpose among the Granite Mountain Hotshots, and the
minute-by-minute account of the fateful day he lost the very men
who had saved him. A harrowing and redemptive tale of resilience in
the face of tragedy, Granite Mountain is also a powerful reminder
of the heroism of the people who put themselves in harm's way to
protect us every day.
