This is the story of the
Napalm Girl’s Journey through the Horrors of War to Faith, Forgiveness and Peace.
Kim was 9 years old-and lived in South Vietnam when the Vietnam
war was raging, more than 4 decades ago. Her excruciating pain was exposed in a
photo that made headlines around the world. Only now (in 2017) is she fully
revealing the depth of her scarring-to both body and soul.
In a moment forever captured, an iconic image that has come
to define the horror and violence of the Vietnam War: Nine-year-old Kim running in agony moments
after napalm bombs fell from the sky, bringing hellish fire that burned away
her clothing and seared deep into her skin.
Left for dead in a hospital morgue, Kim miraculously
survived- but her journey toward healing was only beginning. When the napalm
bombs dropped, everything Kim knew and relied on exploded along with them: her
beloved home and village, her country’s freedom, as well as her childhood
innocence and happiness. Kim’s coming years would be marked by agonizing
treatments for her burns, incessant physical pain throughout her body, and
being handled for political propaganda. Kim survived the pain of her body ablaze, but how could she possibly survive the pain of her devastated soul?
Fire Road is a
story of both unrelenting horror and unexpected hope, a harrowing tale of life
changed in an instant. In this stunning first-hand account of struggling to
find answers in a world that only seemed to bring anguish, Kim ultimately
discovers strength in Someone who had suffered Himself, transforming her
tragedy into an unshakable faith.
