Falling into Fire

Kathleen Pope is a St. Paul, Minnesota, firefighter who is just beginning to recover from having her heart ripped out by her ex-girlfriend. Belladonna Ward is a newly graduated Master of Accounting and Finance from Houston who has fled her mother’s constant nagging about her life being easier if she would just hurry up and get through her “gay phase”.

Kathleen Pope, a firefighter-turned-EMT and now flying with the Minnesota Highway Patrol’s Flight Section, has her wife, Belladonna, a business woman who moved to St. Paul four years ago. Up until now, the couple have experienced a fairytale, whirlwind courtship and a carefree life. All that is about to change. The helicopter that Kathleen is flying in loses power and hits a power line upon takeoff just after loading an accident victim two hours north of Minneapolis-St. Paul. At the very beginning, Bella is notified that her wife has been in an accident.
