In 1974, in the shadow of the Olympics, Hoodsport Ranger District hires four women to their forest fire crew in an experiment few expect to succeed.
Susan feels like she is failing a college without grades and she is burdened by secrets she wishes she didn’t know. Asked to help find tough chicks to be forest firefighters, she’s determined to be one, spurred by the lure of fire, forest and man-sized pay. FireGrrl is her harrowing, funny, awkward and poetic account.
A serial killer targeting nice girls and a friend’s suicide attempt raise the stakes. Susan feels raw and out of control much like Pandora, the dog who hides in a box and makes a mess every time she comes out.
Susan must find her place amid the jostle of tribe and race, locals and outsiders, and prove that women can do the job. She struggles to keep up, master tools and fire science, and sort out spitting, peeing in the woods, and who buys the beer.
The dangers of wildfire demand cohesion but hostilities simmer and it’s hard to know who’ll cover Susan’s back and who’d just as soon stab it. With women kept apart as weak links in the chain, Susan forms an uneasy alliance with the one woman she most distrusts, an alliance that saves her when a thousand man fire camp reels from the presence of women. Finally, when a controlled burn explodes, it is Susan that must hold the line.
The narrative immerses readers in the deceptively simple language of the senses. The elements, trees and all manner of bees are characters in their own right and Susan is often more at ease with them than with people.
Not only a woman’s story, FireGrrl examines a workingman’s world and the forest industry’s impact on the communities that rely on it.

Sharon Ryals Tamm brings her characters and settings to life in vivid, sensual color. You can almost smell the damp, muddy forests, the acrid smoke, the alder-smoked salmon. Even a character as minor as the laundromat owner was relatable, real, and endearing. There are moments of fear that grip your heart alongside triumphs that let your heart swell again. This is a beautifully detailed snapshot into one summer in the life of one woman, a heroine who is flawed, damaged, and perfect at the same time. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves forests, women, the Pacific Northwest, fire, work boots, tools, yoga, m&m's, salmon, summer, friends, the 70's, wood-paneled station wagons, or life in general. You'll fall in love!Product details

FireGrrl edition by Sharon Ryals Tamm Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Loved it! What a great reminder of that time in history when women like Susan (and like the author) broke through the barriers that kept us from jobs with decent wages. I remember being turned down for some of those jobs, leaving me feeling deflated and knowing the system that excluded half the population wasn't right and had to change. This is the story of a young women who did not recognize herself for the stalwart hero she was. She might have felt uncomfortable with that role, being a young woman whose life choices were mostly a matter of rolling with the flow. But she finds some truths that guide her life, like the extrasensory knowing she seems to have about fire, which makes her the best spotter of flare-ups on her team - of fires, fiery tempers, and fires of love.
I hope Ryals Tamm has more stories up her sleeve.
Rather feminist piece
