Review:

In Nicholas Evans' The Smoke Jumper New York native Julia Bishop has no warning that spending the summer counselling troubled teens in Montana will change her life forever. Happily in love with smokejumper and musician Ed Tully, she looks forward to spending the summer weekends with him in Missoula and is stunned and disturbed by the instant connection she feels to his best friend, Connor Ford. Connor, a Montana rancher and smokejumper, loves fighting fires almost as much as he loves photography, and before the summer has barely started, he loves Julia Bishop just as deeply. The bond between the three is strong but the work of a smokejumper is fraught with danger and the trio soon face death by fire. Survival changes their lives forever and places them on paths that divide Julia, Ed and Connor just as surely as their individual journeys bind them irrevocably together. The Smoke Jumper is a tale of loyalty and guilt, honour and selfless love, and the human cost of choices made. --Lois Faye Dyer, Amazon.com
