The Unbroken: A Firefighter's Memoir (Signed) - Serbic, Steve

SIGNED BY STEVE on ffep; Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; When a series of traumatic calls on the job as a firefighter leaves Steve shaken and unable to recover, he, reluctantly at first, seeks out clinical counselling. His one rule, "I won't talk about my childhood," closes the door on several therapist, until he meets one who is willing to respect his wishes - providing he explores his childhood on his own. When Steve begins to reflect on his past, he also begins to write is all down. The good, and the terrible. Those written words are here. Through clinical counselling he is able to release his past and find the power of self-acceptance and vulnerability. The Unbroken is the memoir of one firefighter, his family, trauma, and resilience. Most importantly it is a story that teaches all of us, no matter our situation, that life is school, and the subject is ourselves, our life habits, thoughts, and our reactions to them. And that sometimes it is okay to not be okay.
