Saving You and Finding Me

After growing up as a self-proclaimed outcast, Abby Dubrawski pursued a heroic career in emergency medical services at just eighteen years old, hoping it would help her both stand out and finally belong. Over the course of ten years, after witnessing the best and worst of humanity from the back of an ambulance, she discovered what she had been searching for all along: genuine human connection and the permission to fall in love with her own life.Saving You and Finding Me follows Dubrawski through unforgettable 911 calls, the people she saved (and the ones she couldn't), and the powerful moments that created her sense of self-worth. Moving between emergency scenes and the personal battles that shaped her, each chapter reveals how we find joy after trauma and beauty in the small, ordinary moments in life.This is a memoir about healing, goodness in humankind found in the most unexpected places, and how saving others can sometimes be the very thing that saves you.
