Publisher's Synopsis
A novella, inspired by real events. Ben Walker was a man who seemingly had the world at his feet, a Firefighting Officer at one of the UK's busiest fire stations, at the top of his game, and with the love of his faithful Golden Retriever dog Barney.
Within eighteen months, following three life-changing tragedies and after encountering an adversary more cunning and dangerous than any fire he'd ever attended, he was homeless, unemployed and penniless. Publicly and professionally disgraced, including doing prison time on remand in one of Britain's toughest jails, for a crime for which he always maintained his innocence. This is the story of how one man climbed from the gutter to rebuild his personal and professional reputation, create three bestselling textbooks and to teach Firefighters globally. It is also about how he found love and learned to trust again by following the "Firefighter's Code" of Bravery, Loyalty, Courage & Compassion.
