He thinks wildfires are his greatest enemy, but he doesn't see the historic hurt smoldering inside himself.

Fires have shaped Prentice's life: a childhood tragedy, several devastating wildfires close to home, and structure blazes he's battled with the fire department. His goal is to minimize wildfire devastation in Garnet... and earn his dad's grudging approval.

Out of the blue, he meets Jessie, a smart young lady with a beautiful smile and secrets of her own. She sees the unresolved family conflict smoldering in him and offers a fresh view of how to live his life.

When wildfire hits his hometown, many residents are unprepared. Will he try to save the world by himself, or will he ask for help as the flying embers rain down on him?

A Novel about Wildfires and Family Disasters and how to protect yourself from both in more ways than one.

Industry Reviews

"Uncomfortably accurate." - Matthew Nelson, Forestry Administrator, Woodmoor Improvement Association

"So nuanced and relevant." - Natalie Barszcz, Our Community News, www.ocn.me

"To Starve an Ember immerses you in the world of the southwestern US and the very real threat of wildfires. Entertaining, educational, and at times sobering... Journey along with Prentice to learn about hot to prepare for wildfires... Can't wait for the next book in the Ready to Go? series." - Joseph H.

"The author does a great job of intertwining challenging work and family relationships with real-world knowledge of wildfires. Those of us who live in wildland-urban interface areas can cut the risk to structures by paying attention to the details from fire-fighting experts through this excellent novel." - Stephen Pate

"Ms. Hatfield provides pertinent information on how homeowners can protect their property from wildfire while weaving a compelling narrative of her protagonist's battle to rid his demons." - Ross Meyer

"I work in the lab where much of the author's information originated. I picked up the book and didn't stop reading except to go to work and sleep! It was a very moving story about a man whose past makes him very aware of what havoc a fire can do... Well-researched, well-written, and worth the read - especially if you live in a fire-prone area." - JustJoJo
