From the ground-breaking author of Punk Like Me and Punk & Zen, comes the powerful story of Bennie Grego, an EMT by day and comic book artist by night who is forced to make an impossible decision.
There's not much more dangerous or exciting than being a New York City emergency medical technician--unless you add being a smoke jumper during fire season. It's all about saving lives one way or another, holding the line against fire, disaster, and death.
Saving lives is what Benadette―"Bennie"―Grego knows, and she's damn good at it. Her Nana keeps her gear repaired and blesses Bennie with holy water every time she leaves―the work is risky, but helping people is what gives her life meaning, and when she's not saving lives, Bennie pursues her second passion--drawing superheroes for a comic she and her friend Jean have created.
But when a bad jump results in a devastating injury to her drawing arm, Bennie must come to terms with the fact that she may lose one of the two essential parts of her soul forever. Trauma changed her once before, and once again she must make a a difficult choice--the sirens or the superheroes.
