The true story behind the events that inspired the major motion picture Only the Brave. A "unique and bracing" (Booklist) first-person account by the sole survivor of Arizona's disastrous 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire, which took the lives of 19 "hotshots" -- firefighters trained specifically to battle wildfires. Brendan McDonough was on the verge of becoming a hopeless, inveterate heroin addict when he, for the sake of his young daughter, decided to turn his life around. He enlisted in the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a team of elite firefighters based in Prescott, Arizona. Their leader, Eric Marsh, was in a desperate crunch after four hotshots left the unit, and perhaps seeing a glimmer of promise in the skinny would-be recruit, he took a chance on the unlikely McDonough, and the chance paid off. Despite the crew's skepticism, and thanks in large part to Marsh's firm but loving encouragement, McDonough unlocked a latent drive and dedication, going on to successfully battle a number of blazes and eventually win the confidence of the men he came to call his brothers. Then, on June 30, 2013, while McDonough -- "Donut" as he'd been dubbed by his team--served as lookout, they confronted a freak, 3,000-degree inferno in nearby Yarnell, Arizona. The relentless firestorm ultimately trapped his hotshot brothers, tragically killing all 19 of them within minutes. Nationwide, it was the greatest loss of firefighter lives since the 9/11 attacks. Granite Mountain is a gripping memoir that traces McDonough's story of finding his way out of the dead end of drugs, finding his purpose among the Granite Mountain Hotshots, and the minute-by-minute account of the fateful day he lost the very men who had saved him. A harrowing and redemptive tale of resilience in the face of tragedy, Granite Mountain is also a powerful reminder of the heroism of the people who put themselves in harm's way to protect us every day.

Brandon wondered how in the world he was going to live with this hottie, in a two-man tent, for a week... When he is selected as an entry-level firefighter in the elite Hart Mountain Hotshots, Brandon has a hard time acting like a straight guy - especially when everyone around him is acting just the opposite! The crew's jokes and innuendos confound him, making him wonder if what goes on between the boys is an intimacy that goes beyond brotherhood. Being teamed up with Jesse is only making things worse. With his sparkling aquamarine eyes, Jessie just might have what it takes to completely destroy the wall of pretense Brandon has built around himself, and totally expose him for his true desire... *This story is part of the Hart Mountain Hotshots Series and is for mature audiences only. SAMPLE: Brandon sat up and looked over at Jesse. His eyes were closed listening to his music. He leaned over and carefully, quietly slid his Fleshlight and lube out of the bottom pouch in his pack. He was hoping if Jesse fell asleep for a while, he just might be able to bust his nut in the toy as long as he kept it slow and quiet. In fact, the idea of masturbating while lying beside his buddy was a pretty big turn on. He placed the toy up near his pillow and lay back down only to find he was lying on Jesse's arm stretched out right beside his pillow. Brandon's eyes flew open and he looked toward Jesse who was looking right at him with that dopey grin...
