"Fire Road" by Kim Phuc Phan Thi, otherwise known as the Napalm Girl, tells her story in this book. You surely have seen the picture be it in a history book, on a documentary, somewhere. Kim was nine years old the day a South Vietnamese plane released napalm in the area her family was taking refuge. Her cousin was killed. After the clothes had been burned off of her and she was running for her life; a reporter snapped a picture. He then tried to save her, but water is not a napalm victim's friend. That Pulitzer Prize winning photo led to a life of both torment and later fame. It also led Kim to the path of sharing the Gospel with the world.
This is definitely a story that needs to be told. I recommend it to both history buffs and anyone just looking for hope. If there is one thing Kim has become a leader in, it is sharing hope.
I received this book in exchange for an honest review from Tyndale Publishing.
