  <default_description>New York born and bred, Julia Bishop has no warning that spending the  summer counseling troubled teens in Montana will change her life forever.  Happily in love with smoke jumper and musician Ed Tully, she looks forward to  spending the summer weekends with him in Missoula and is stunned and disturbed  by the instant connection she feels to his best friend, Connor Ford. Connor, a  Montana rancher and smoke jumper, loves fighting fires almost as much as he  loves photography, and before the summer is barely started, he loves Julia  Bishop just as deeply. The bond between the three is strong but the work of a  smoke jumper is fraught with danger and the trio soon face death by fire.  Survival changes their lives forever and places them on paths that divide Julia,  Ed, and Connor just as surely as their individual journeys bind them irrevocably  together. &lt;I&gt;The Smoke Jumper&lt;/I&gt; is a tale of loyalty and guilt, honor and  selfless love, and the human cost of choices made. &lt;I&gt;--Lois Faye Dyer&lt;/I&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a good story about two friends whose lives continue to intersect.  With tight editing it would make a great film.  Maybe not your first choice if you are looking for a happily ever after story.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't want to put it down, the men I know who have read it said they didn't like it.  I loved the realism of the war it made me want to know more.  The love story was a little predictable. ]]></body>
