Caroline Paul    

Author, Known for "Fighting Fire" and "East Wind, Rain"

Brimming with insights gained on her picaresque journey from firefighter to best-selling author, Caroline Paul’s "The Gutsy Girl" is a revolutionary guide for raising brave young women.

Before launching her career as a writer, Caroline Paul embarked on a long list of unlikely adventures, ranging from shooting rapids in a boat made of milk cartons to attempting to set the world’s distance record for crawling.

Paul was one of the first women to work for the San Francisco Fire Department -- a job that inspired her first work of nonfiction, Fighting Fire. Her latest book, The Gutsy Girl, uses stories from her own life as a gutsy woman to inspire girls to break the rules, take risks and accept seemingly insurmountable challenges.
