What did you find intriguing about this book?

Cassie Hanwell is a pro at being a firefighter in her Texas firehouse, but her mother pleads for her to drop everything and take care of her in Boston. Cassie’s peers at the Boston firehouse have never had a female coworker before, and she strives to prove that she can do everything, if not as good, but better than them. What she fails to see is how much she needs her mother and the Boston firefighters to show her true path in life and that forgiveness can really make the difference.
