“An ambulance has always seemed to me to be a rolling mystery box, a sort of metaphor for life itself. A vivid, gripping book . . . showing the dignity of the work, the humanity of those who do it, and the preciousness of life itself.”

– Crawford Coates, author of Mindful Responder

“Poignant, quirky and raw. Anyone who has served on an ambulance will recognize the complex and unvarnished humanity in his story.”

– Brian LaCroix, EMS Chief (Retired)

“I couldn’t put it down. It is about one man’s search for meaning in the depths of human tragedy; a discovery of the sacred within the profane.”

– Kyle Keller, psychotherapist
