The First Call Was Mine (Paperback)

Paperback. In the Literary Titan Gold Award winning memoir, The First Call Was Mine, Kay recounts a childhood marked by fear, fractured homes, and the foster system, a world where chaos felt normal and silence felt safe.

Both heartbreaking and hopeful, The First Call Was Mine is a story of fire, aftermath, and the courage it takes to rise from everything that tried to break you. Kay recounts a childhood shaped by fear, fractured homes, and foster care, where chaos felt normal and silence felt safe. Years later, she answers emergency calls and runs into burning buildings, unaware shes still trying to save the girl she once was. A story of truth, healing, and breaking cycles.
