When Will You Be Home?

Disasters' Toll: One FEMA Inspector's Truthful Journey]

De: J. M. Hepner

Narrado por: Jaxon Pierce

What happens when helping others begins to destroy you? J. M. Hepner spent years walking into the wreckage of America's worst disasters—hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, floods—not to save lives, but to help survivors begin rebuilding them. But behind the FEMA badge was a husband, a father, and a man unraveling one inspection at a time.

In this raw, unfiltered memoir, Hepner pulls back the curtain on the human cost of disaster response. Told with searing honesty, dark humor, and heartbreaking clarity, When Will You Be Home? reveals what it's like to realize that emotional wounds often run deeper than the physical ones.

This isn’t just a book about disasters. It’s a story about burnout, bureaucracy, and the impossible task of staying whole while serving the survivors of disasters. It’s about a man trying to help others while his own family was falling apart.

Most people never see this world. After listening to this book, they never will the same way again.

You Matter

PTSD is very real for all kinds of situations. I admire your compassion to the survivors in their times of need. They’re going through some of the greatest struggles of their lives. Hang in there and keep up the good fight and through it all remember most that YOU MATTER.
