Description
When confronted by raging fires or deadly accidents, volunteer fireman Taylor McAden feels compelled to take terrifying risks-risks no one else in the department would ever take-to save lives. But there is one leap of faith Taylor can't bring himself to make: He can't fall in love. For all of his adult years, Taylor has sought out women who need to be rescued, women he leaves as soon as the relationship starts to become truly intimate. Then one day, a raging, record-breaking storm hits his small Southern town. Denise Holton, a young single mother, is driving through it when her car skids off the road. With her is her four-year-old son, Kyle, a boy with severe learning disabilities and for whom she has sacrificed everything. Unconcious and bleeding, she-but not Kyle-will be found by Taylor. And when she wakes, they realize Kyle is gone. During the search for Kyle, the connection, the lifeline, between Taylor and Denise takes root. Taylor doesn't know that this rescue will be different from all of the others, demanding far more than raw physical courage. That it will lead him to the possibility of his own rescue from a life lived without love. That it will require him to open doors to his past that were slammed shut by pain. That it will dare him to live life to the fullest by saring to love.
