Synopsis "Smoke Gets In Their Eyes: Hannah fights to prove she can survive in a male dominated profession (in English)"
Hannah is a naïve, somewhat gullible, young lady who is looking for her place in life. After saving the life of an elderly customer at work, she is told by a fire captain the city of Vinedale is looking for minority applicants. She applies, passes all the tests, and is accepted. Armed only with a sweet disposition and a perchance toward pleasing others, she is ill equipped to succeed in a macho environment. During drill school, she is harassed by a fellow rookie who will stop at nothing to prove a female does not belong in the fire service. Once she is assigned to an engine company, she has to prove herself, all over again, to the members of her crew. Her roommate, Joanne, a perky and feisty optimist, guides her in slyly overcoming her problems. Hannah's twenty-eight year old captain, a self-proclaimed bachelor, slowly and begrudgingly, accepts her. Eventually he becomes more than just her captain. As you follow Hannah, and her fellow firefighters, through their escapades in the city of Vinedale, this sometimes humorous, always riveting, slightly off-beat, action packed novel will keep you engrossed from unexpected beginning until the nail biting ending. As the novel reaches its climax, Hannah saves the life of her engineer by making a life and death decision that almost costs her to lose her own.
