Kate Hamberger Yakis worked her way through college fighting wildfires throughout the West as a hotshot. After she shelved her fire boots for good, she taught highschool language arts for 10 years while her fire stories percolated. After her youngest graduated from highschool, she began to write these stories down hoping to share her faith and encourage others to challenge themselves to do hard things and have their own adventures.
