Synopsis:

When his father, the captain of the local fire squad, rescues a teenager from underneath a collapsed home, he is hailed as a hero, but when the media coverage wanes, the parades fade, and the TV movie is finished, twelve-year-old Paul Tucker finds that his father and his life have been forever altered, in a richly textured novel of family, honor, and duty. 30,000 first printing.
