Produktbeschreibung
He lost his face in a fire. He never lost his faith. When firefighter Pat Hardison ran into a burning home, he came out alive-but with injuries so severe, he was unrecognizable. Facing the Fire is his raw, unfiltered true story of survival, a record-breaking face transplant, and the God who never left him in the flames. For the next fourteen years, Pat lived behind skin grafts, pressure masks, and the constant stares of strangers-fighting to be the husband and dad his family needed when every mirror told him to quit. Then came an unexpected call from New York: a chance at the most extensive face transplant ever attempted. The surgery would be dangerous. The outcome uncertain. But it might be his only shot at more than survival. Facing the Fire is the plainspoken, unforgettable true story of: * A man who refused to let tragedy write the ending * The loved ones who walked every mile beside him * A groundbreaking medical miracle that made history * And the God who never left him-even in the fire Raw, gripping, and deeply human, Pat takes you inside the real cost of courage-one surgery, one hard decision, one answered prayer at a time. If you've ever wondered where hope comes from when life burns everything down, this book will show you.
Autorenporträt
Pat Hardison was a small-town firefighter in Mississippi when a house fire in 2001 left him with life-altering burns. Years of surgeries, pain, and addiction followed. In 2015, Pat received one of the most extensive-and the first widely successful-full face transplants, including functional eyelids that protected his sight. Today he shares a plainspoken story of grit, faith, and second chances. Pat doesn't call himself a hero; he's a dad and granddad who kept showing up, one hard day at a time. He speaks across the country about resilience, recovery, and the gift of organ donation. He still believes God kept him here for a reason-and he's determined to make it count.
