Staring into the Sun;

"Staring into the Sun" is a firefighter's memoir. You'll shudder with joy (and revulsion) while reading this fiercely honest and humorous romp with career firefighter Nick Brunacini, who vividly chronicles his 30-year fire-service career in the sun-baked city of Phoenix. Brunacini describes his municipal playground and its inhabitants with the aching tenderness and bitter repugnance usually reserved for long-lost lovers. "Staring into the Sun" offers readers a far-too-brief glimpse into the gritty, fun-loving and often sweet-natured soul of a true American Firefighter.
