520    "A dramatic, revelatory account of the female inmate 
       firefighters who battle California's wildfires"--
       |cProvided by publisher. 
520    Of the thousands of firefighters who battle California's 
       blazes every year, roughly 30 percent of the on-the-ground
       wildland crews are inmates earning a dollar an hour. 
       Approximately 200 of those firefighters are women serving 
       on all-female crews. Lowe has spent years getting to know 
       dozens of women who have participated in the fire camp 
       program. Speaking to captains, family and friends, 
       correctional officers, and camp commanders, she provides 
       an illuminating look at how the fire camps actually 
       operate. In doing so, she encompasses California's 
       underlying catastrophes of climate change, economic 
       disparity, historical injustice, and the emotional and 
       physical intensity of firefighting. -- adapted from jacket
