So it was interesting reading about that world, especially from the perspective of a female firefighter. The firefighter life is something I didn’t know much about-other than the people are heroes and courageous. Cassie can feel her resolve slipping…and it means risking it all―the only job she’s ever loved, and the hero she’s worked like hell to become. Except for the infatuation-inspiring rookie who doesn’t seem to mind having Cassie around. Hazing, a lack of funding, and poor facilities mean that the firemen aren’t exactly thrilled to have a “lady” on the crew―even one as competent and smart as Cassie. The tough, old-school Boston firehouse is as different from Cassie’s old job as it could possibly be. So when her estranged and ailing mother asks her to give up her whole life in Texas and move to Boston, Cassie, a lover of routine, suddenly has to step to in an unfamiliar world. But she experienced two extremely different traumatic events at age 16 that leads her somewhat stunted when it comes to relationships, especially of the romantic variety. She’s tough AF and extremely skilled at her job. The story follows female firefighter Cassie Hanwell. So I had high expectations for Things You Save in a Fire. Overall, I liked the story but I did feel a couple things were missing. I loved her writing style and how the story touches the journey one faces in the aftermath of a tragedy.
Michael Schaub is a Texas-based journalist and regular contributor to NPR.I was first introduced to Katherine Center when I read How to Walk Away last year. “I’m honored to have the opportunity to expand this redemptive story into a film, visually expressing what Katherine so wonderfully built in her book.”Ĭenter shared news of the planned adaptation on Instagram, writing, “So! Excited! To share! The gorgeous, talented, and super likable Missy Peregrym (star of FBI) has optioned Things You Save in a Fire!!” “I have always been attracted to projects that showcase the depth of pain, the cost of our defenses and the healing qualities of love,” Peregrym said.
Deadline reports Peregrym might star in the movie. Peregrym will produce the film adaptation with Oakhurst Entertainment, the media company led by Jai Khanna ( Black Bear, Four Good Days).
A critic for Kirkus called the book “a sharp and witty exploration of love and forgiveness that is at once insightful, entertaining, and thoroughly addictive.” Martin’s, follows Cassie, an Austin, Texas, firefighter who moves to Boston to care for her estranged, ailing mother. Missy Peregrym, the actor known for her roles in Van Helsing and FBI, is producing the adaptation of Center’s 2019 book. Katherine Center’s Things You Save in a Fire is headed to the big screen, Deadline reports.
