Publisher's Summary

A revealing ride-along with New England’s teenage volunteer EMTs - boys and girls pulled away from their homework to save lives when the sun goes down.

It’s a Darien, Connecticut, tradition: an emergency medical service managed by adolescents. One kid is a varsity soccer captain. There’s a future doctor, a band dork, a theater geek. Theirs is a view of town without the niceties. A drunken spouse turned violent. Lonely old people stuck in the bath. A midlife suicide. How do these kids process the sometimes shocking and violent life-and-death secrets of their community? The answer is a story of high stress and uncommon high school lives, told by a writer who spent his own youth on the night shift. Welcome to Post 53.

Rosecrans Baldwin’s Nightcrawlers is part of Exposure, a collection of six incredible and true stories of American double lives from millionaire CEOs and suburban teens to undercover investigators and scam artists - all for whom secrets are a way of life. Each piece can be listened to in a single astonished sitting.

interesting - too brief

Fascinating, both about the program and the town of Darien. I wanted more info on the young paramedics, and would have liked this to have been longer. More tantalising snippet than in depth study. And I do wonder if the question at the end is true, would this work elsewhere or does it only work in a rich, white community?
