The Fireman's Wife: A Novel by Jack RiggsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Cassie, a mountain girl from North Carolina married young. One summer trip to the beaches of South Carolina changed her college plans and her life when she fell in love and became pregnant. Now living in the low country marshes with her fireman husband, Peck and teenage daughter, Kelly - Cassie, always restless, longs to break free and head back to her mountains. The Fireman's Wife is told from the viewpoint of each of three main characters and the pain and confusion in their relationships come through the written word. Although I became angry with Cassie - I also felt sorry for her that she kept searching for more, regretting and thinking she had lost something years ago. Cassie finds out, at great cost and too late, what love truly is. A great reader's guide is included.
