River Selby "Hotshot: A Life on Fire"

The fierce debut memoir of a female firefighter, HOTSHOT navigates the personal and environmental dangers of wildland firefighting

From 2000 to 2010, River Selby was a wildland firefighter whose given name was Anastasia. This is a memoir of that time in their life—of Ana, the struggles she encountered, and the constraints of what it means to be female-bodied in a male-dominated industry. An illuminating debut from a fierce new voice, HOTSHOT is a timely reckoning with both the personal and environmental dangers of wildland firefighting.
